# Collapse

## Overview

The Collapse component is a collapsible container that can show either some custom html, a form or a number of so called "cards". The component can hold several collapsibles and their cards and offers an "accordionMode" property that when true will hide all other collapsibles when one collapsible is expanded.

Since the nature of this component involves content to flow, it is best suited for responsive layouts in Servoy, although it is not limited to those.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a more advanced container! For simple use cases, use [Accordion Panel](/guides/develop/application-design/forms/form-containers/accordion-panel.md).
{% endhint %}

You can find the reference documentation about this component [here](/reference/servoyextensions/ui-components/form-containers/collapse.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.servoy.com/guides/develop/application-design/forms/form-containers/collapse.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
