New: Collapsible Sections
You can now expand and collapse Sections in the Form Designer—making it much easier to work with large, complex forms.
Why This Matters
Managing forms with lots of fields just got faster and less overwhelming. Instead of loading everything at once, you can focus on only the sections you need to update—improving performance and making edits easier to manage. You can also configure sections to be collapsible for end users, so they can hide completed sections and stay focused as they work.
New Collapse Options in Form Designer
- Collapse and expand top-level Sections via the toggle arrow in the top righthand corner of the Section.
- Or use the Expand All and Collapse All options for quick navigation in Form Designer to collapse and expand all top-level sections
- Please note - large forms (20+ sections or 100+ gadgets) will now open in a collapsed state by default
Collapse Settings for Section Gadgets
The below settings have been added in the Section gadget that allow you to add collapse options to your end users when completing the form:
- Section can be collapsed - turn this on to allow users to expand or collapse the section while completing a form. This helps reduce visual clutter and lets users focus on what matters most. When enabled the Sections will have the option to collapse or expand via the toggle arrow in the top righthand corner of the Section.
- Section is collapsed by default - This option is only available when the 'Section can be collapsed' configuration is checked. When this setting is enabled, the section will start in a collapsed state when the form loads. This is ideal for optional or high-volume content that users don’t always need to review. We recommend not collapsing sections by default that contain required fields.

What Form Users Will See
When filling out forms, if you've enabled 'Sections can be collapsed' you’ll see collapsible sections with a triangle icon—so you can hide or expand content as needed. If the 'Section is collapsed by default' configuration is enabled then the Section will be collapsed by default when the user opens the form.
Also, if there are Sections within a Repeater gadget it will provide the Expand All / Collapse All options to manage multiple entries.
