    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      I'd like an easy way to expand or collapse content in lists and by headings. Use cases include:

      • Showing a high level summary of information to one audience without divorcing the summary from the details.
      • More easily reviewing an outline of information while focusing on the key points.
      • More easily navigating a page with an abundance of text.

      For collapsing by headings, the Expando add-on exists, but it's not supported or available for Cloud.

      For lists, the built-in Expand Macro does not work with the built-in lists. It is essentially impossible to build a contiguous list while using Expand Macros for each item.

      Suggestions:
      Lists would either be collapsible by default or could be wrapped in a new macro that enables this functionality.
      The user should be able to expand a single item or all items at that level in the outline.
      Page editor should be able to designate whether a list is collapsed or expanded by default when viewed.

      For an example of potential implementation of collapsible lists or outlines, see OneNote.

      Are there any applicable workarounds available today?
