# How to Build a Reusable Collapsible FAQ Panel

## Demo Overview

This tutorial walks you through building a **clickable, expandable and collapsible FAQ panel component** from scratch. You will also turn it into a **reusable component structure** suitable for FAQs, help centers, and similar use cases.

## Step 1: Create the Component

1. Select the layer that contains the **item**.
2. Right-click, create a component, and name it `FAQItem`.

As shown below:

## Step 2: Set Up Component Variants (Collapsed / Expanded)

### 1\. Adjust the Base Component Structure

- Select the outermost component.
- Set its height to **Auto**.

### 2\. Configure the Default Variant (Collapsed State)

In the Default variant:

- Set the visibility of the **answer text** and **divider** to **Off**.
- Remove the background style from the root component.

### 3\. Add an Expanded Variant

1. Add a new component variant.

2. In Variant 1:
   - Set the visibility of the **answer text** and **divider** to **On**.
   - Add a **light purple background** to the component.

     ![image.png](https://fsu.creght.com/user/3/mmLaHnPkSRx__image.png)
3. Select the **arrow icon** and rotate it **180°** to indicate the expanded state.

## Step 3: Add Interaction Logic

### 1\. Collapsed → Expanded

- In the **Default variant**, select the title group.
- Click the **“+” under Interactions** in the right panel and choose **Variant**.

![image.png](https://fsu.creght.com/user/3/mmLaHqnJkSz__image.png)

- Choose **Click** as the trigger.
- Set the target variant to **Variant 1**.

### 2\. Expanded → Collapsed

- In **Variant 1**, select the title group.
- Adjust the click interaction.
- Set the target variant to **Default**.

## Preview the Result

Preview the page. Clicking the title should now expand and collapse the content.

## Make the Component Highly Reusable

### 1\. Turn the Copy into Variables

### Title Text

1. Select the title text component.
2. In the text properties, click **“+” → Create Variable**.

After creation, the title is bound to a text variable:

Click the blue variable name to rename it to something more meaningful, such as Title:

### Answer Text

- Select the **answer text component** in the Default state.
- Create a text variable in the same way, such as Answer.

### 2\. Configure Component Content on the Page

1. Return to the page.
2. Select the **FAQItem** component.
3. In the component properties on the right, you will see two configurable fields: **Title** and **Answer**.

![image.png](https://fsu.creght.com/user/3/mmLaHxLozKU__image.png)


After changing the title, the page content updates automatically:

### 3\. Reuse It for Other Questions

1. Select another question group.
2. Right-click → **Replace with Component** → choose **FAQItem**.

Then simply update the corresponding title and answer:

Repeat the same process for the remaining questions.

## Summary

By combining components, variants, interactions, and text variables:

- You can quickly build a **click-to-expand collapsible panel**.
- All styles are maintained centrally while content remains configurable.
- Future component changes only need to be made once, and every instance on the page updates automatically.

You now have a **highly reusable and easy-to-maintain collapsible FAQ component** 🚀
