Details

Make it easier for the users to scan the page, by letting them reveal more detailed information only if they need it.

When to use this component

Use the details component to make a page easier to scan when it contains information that only some users will need.

When not to use this component

Do not use the details component to hide information that the majority of your users will need.

How it works

The details component is a short link that shows more detailed help text when a user clicks on it.

Make the link text short and descriptive so users can quickly work out if they need to click on it.

You can use the HTML below to create a select component.

Example

<details class="govcy-details">

    <p class="govcy-details__text">
