This template creates collapsible page sections with a form. These collapsed sections are shown at the beginning of the page if there is additional content on the page. The form can be customized to allow the collapsible items to be shown at the bottom of the page. The collapsible items cannot be shown in between other text sections if they are updated using the form.
