Go to the list of Blocks

The Details block displays a text summary and an arrow button: When you click on the text or the button, the block opens and reveals additional content on the page.

This block provides a way to show or hide content on your site. This can be useful on faq pages, showing /hiding detailed event information etc.

The Summary is customizable by selecting the “Write summary…” placeholder text and adding your own text.

The additional content are blocks that you place inside the Details block that are hidden until you click on the summary text or the button. Because the content is hidden until you open the block, it is referred to as “hidden content”.
