Color scheme

Light scheme

Two disclosures. One closed, one open on a light color scheme.

Dark scheme

Two disclosures. One closed, one open on a dark color scheme.

Configuration

A disclosure includes two parts, a trigger that the user selects and the container that opens and discloses the content.

Two disclosures, one open and one closed showing the alignment of the chevron with the trigger text. Below the disclosures is an accordion with the text, 'Accordion panels have the caret icon on the right to differentiate.'

Nested disclosure

Only one additional disclosure can be nested to help organize content better. If you need to use more disclosures, use an Accordion instead.

Two open disclosures, each with a nested disclosure. The top nested disclosure is closed while the bottom is open.

Space

Three disclosures. The top one is closed, the middle one is open, and the bottom one is open with a nested disclosure. There's 16px on the top and bottom of the trigger, 24px on the left and right. There's 24px padding on the open disclosure content.

Interaction states

The entire trigger button surface changes color on hover.

Two open disclosures, one open, one closed. Each showing the gray hover state of the disclosure's trigger. Two open disclosures on a dark color scheme, one open, one closed. Each showing the gray hover state of the disclosure's trigger.
