Accordions provide ways to expand and collapse content. This helps reduce the amount of information shown on a page and takes customers to the content they were looking for. Use accordions to organize related or additional information that isn’t required to complete a task.
Avoid nesting accordions within already collapsible content.
The DLS accordion component requires both dls.css and dls.js due to the complexities involved with its logic, functionality, and animations.
Use the collapsible panel’s closed state to succinctly summarize information in a horizontal bar. Clicking any area on the bar expands it to reveal a larger area of information, and clicking it again collapses it. Collapsible panels open and close independently of each other within a larger stacked list.
