Ability to search within collapsed content via advanced search is a key requirement for us to continue using this feature.

If I can vote 500 times, I will. 

No solution for adding to a page for everyone to use.  But for personal use - I have a bookmark with the following URL:

javascript:(function()%7B%24(%22.expand-control%22).each(function()%7B%20%24(this).trigger(%22click%22)%3B%7D)%7D)()

When I am on a page I want everything expanded on - I select the bookmark. Select again to collapse all.

Is anyone using a workaround for this that actually works? All of the ones I've found in forums do not. Thank you! 

Thank you for the update Divya! Looking forward to the release of this feature. 

We also would need to link from the ToC into a collapsed expand macro. The legacy requirement would be, to keep the expand macro collapsed but links from ToC and somewhere else should be working.

Additionally to searching in a collapsed area would be useful.

I had to come here to figure out why my ToC couldn't link my headings inside of an Expand macro, when they were showing up in the ToC. This should be basic functionality.

Paul Streng solution may work well, but it requires the HTML macro from the market place; no good for us - I'm unable to add marketplace add-on's to our site.  Would prefer a "Confluence" solution

I found this and works nicely.

<a id="toggleAll" href="#">Expand/Collapse All FAQs</a> <script type="text/javascript"> AJS.toInit(function () { AJS.$('#toggleAll').click(function() { jQuery(".expand-control").each(function()

) }); }); </script>

Just add to an HTML macro at top of each page.

Definitely needed.  

+1 Recently upgraded from Server to Cloud and this is a real PITA for us.

+1 - showstopper issue for us

+1 This is very much needed.

noticed that the internal confluence page has the expand sections collapsed as default, but same page on the service desk (customer facing portal) has the sections expanded by default... configuration per expand block would be great. i didn't see the refined UI Expand macro available for confluence cloud.

+1. This is a huge request for our teams. And without the ability to search non expanded content, it is a real blocker in their workflow! Is there any update on this, as it looks like it has been a suggestion for a few years with no movement. 

Thanks!

@Jonno Katahanas You greatly improved /expand native functionality late last year, but left this out. The feature is incomplete / limited in use until there is an option to toggle show/hide by default. Right now, I only bother using on content that should be hidden by default–otherwise I run the risk of hiding meaningful content!

UI Expand macro (https://docs.refined.com/display/rwui/UI+Expand) has this functionality but it would be great if the builtin Expand macro were able to do this.

You're killing me here...

It seems like such a simple thing, and it would be so helpful!

5 years later and no nearer to this being a thing - I think we can count this as "things that will never happen" guys.

Use Case: For onboarding a new person in a role, we have checklists per week. When loading the page, I'd like to have the weeks they've done already open collapsed, and the weeks they haven't done already open uncollapsed. I'd be happy with a manual toggle for show/hide per expand-box. Thanks!

+1 Atlassian, this seems easy to implement. Please add this

+1 - seems like a simple enough fix to implement. Would be extremely useful.

Amazing people at Atlassian,

Please make this one happen. The macro is not complete without all configuration exposed. I use this quite a bit in my day to day work and kept on researching if there any way to do this and stumbled upon this JIRA.

Confluence is already awesome, please make it more awesome by adding this missing feature.

Wow 102 votes .... must be a contender now its in triple digits.

A search for a collapsible section ( starts expanded but can be hidden ) lead me here. An option on the existing EXPAND macro for starts expanded would cover this.

This would be a great enhancement.

"Text is not searchable from closed expand macros on page load." YES PLEASE THIS FEATURE

Agreed - this would be a nice feature for Confluence users

It would very much enhance the look and feel of some of my pages if I had a checkbox option within macro settings that I could set whether the macro should be open or closed by default.

Even I am looking for this feature. When it will be available?

Please make this happen! This would be extremely beneficial for the reasons already mentioned, notably searchability of content.

It's interesting how this seems like a feature that would have been implemented from the get go.

This is also needed so that links in a table of contents work. (They do not when the target is in an expandable section that is not expanded.)

This would be a really useful feature!

Is the Expand Macro source code available anywhere on https://bitbucket.org/atlassian ? I would think someone in the community could add the code to do this pretty quickly and submit a Pull Request for it.

+1 Voted !
