The Section Collapse element can hide or show sections of your form and also splits your form into expandable parts.
In this guide, we’ll create a form utilizing the Section Collapse element to group fields and then show or hide them based on the user’s answer using conditional logic. Let’s start.
Let’s call it the “Additional Information” section.
There are two important Section Collapse properties:
Note
A Section Collapse encompasses all succeeding form elements, except another Section Collapse.
This will act as the stopper or the section’s end.
Next is to set up the Conditional Logic.
To break that down:

Hi Team Jotform i need help, if I embed the element "Collapse" in the site page it doesn't go back to the first question of the section. It remains on the last of the collapsed section. Is there anything I can do
Is it possible to create series of section collapses within one main section collapse? i.e. Can I create one large section collapse as "FAQs" which opens up if FAQ is clicked... but then have a list of FAQ titles within that section that only display each answer in turn when each FAQ title is clicked?
Does this work for toggling paragraphs as well?
Does HIDING (collapsing) a SECTION also turn off all REQUIRED fields within that section?
In other words, If a checkbox has Required * as default status, will closing the Section remove this required default since the User would not see or have access to the checkbox in the closed section?
