# Accordion

The **Accordion** **Widget** is **used to display text in a collapsed, condensed manner**, letting you save space while still presenting an abundance of content. With the Accordion, visitors can scan the item titles, and choose to expand an item only if it is of interest.

### Using Accordion widget

Go to your site and start editing the page with Elementor.

### Step 1:

Select the **Accordion** widget from the menu bar on the left-hand side of your screen then drag and drop it in the selected area.
