Below is the Accordion which we are going to create in this tutorial:

The Accordion content type can be used for presenting text when there is a limited amount of vertical space. The content inside Accordion is shown in collapsible panels with a title. Each panel expands by clicking on the title.

The topic is berries. In this tutorial, we are going to create the Accordion mentioned in the above example with four types of berries.

Select the New content option and choose Accordion from the list of Content types:

The Accordion editor should now appear and it looks like this:

Type the following text in the Title field: Types of berries

Here, we'll add the panels that the Accordion consists of. We'll add four panels.

Panel 1:
The 1st panel is added by default. It consists of a title and text. Fill in:

Title: Cherries
​Text: As raw fruit, sweet cherries provide little nutrient content per 100 g serving. Dietary fiber and vitamin C are present in the most significant content while other vitamins and dietary minerals each supply less than 10% of the Daily Value per serving, respectively. Source: Wikipedia

Add new panel using the "Add panel" button. Fill in the next three panels with the following:

Panel 2:
Title: Cranberries
​Text: Raw cranberries have moderate levels of vitamin C, dietary fiber and the essential dietary mineral, manganese, as well as other essential micronutrients in minor amounts. Source: Wikipedia
