Collapsible rows ​

This guide describes setting up the Collapsible rows section.

Use the section to add headings to a page with corresponding blocks of expandable/collapsible rows of text.

​The previous video shows a Collapsible rows section on a store's home page. The section contains three rows of heading text, with a plus icon + displayed at the end of each row - on the right. When the store visitor selects a plus icon, the section expands/collapses the corresponding body text (block) in each row.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview, and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
