Learn how to use Divi's Accordion Module to organize content in collapsible sections for a cleaner, more user-friendly design.

Updated this week

The Divi Accordion module displays content in collapsible toggles, showing or hiding information as needed. Unlike the Toggle module, it keeps only one toggle open at a time, making it ideal for FAQs and organized content.

When you load the Visual Builder, Divi automatically adds a Section.

  1. Click the Green Plus icon to insert a Row.

  2. Click the Gray Plus icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.

  3. Find the Accordion module and click on it to load the module.
    The module library is also searchable. Type the module name you want in the search bar at the top.
