Using an Accordion

The accordion module allows you to create simple container rows for displaying labels and hidden content. Users click on the container labels to display further information held in the accordion content area.

Accordions are great for FAQs where a simple list of questions can be clicked to open up answers.

The accordion module is part of the Page Builder, and can be accessed under the Advanced Modules area.

Check out the video below for a great introduction to the Accordion Module.  Video produced by the Beaver Builder Team.
