Why use toggles?

• Keep documents that might otherwise be long and complex short and easy to navigate.
• Help your audience focus on one section of content at a time.
• Give your reader the choice to drill into detail or stay at a high level.

Create a toggle

There are a few ways to create toggles on a page:

• Click on the + in the left margin that appears when you hover over a new line. Choose Toggle List from the menu.
• Type /toggle and then enter.

• You can transform text, bullets or to-do items into toggles by pressing cmd/ctrl + / anywhere on the same line and typing toggle.
• When you do this, any content nested under that block will be put inside the toggle. Like sub-bullets, for instance.
• Toggles behave like bullets or checkboxes. When you press enter, another one appears on the next line.
• Open the toggle by clicking on it or pressing tab on the next line. Anything you type will be nested inside that toggle.

You can nest any type of content block inside toggles:

Drag blocks into a toggle

Just like in-line pages, you can drag content blocks into toggles to nest them inside (even when a toggle is closed).
