Tech Tip: Expand and collapse content in Google Docs

Wednesday, June 7, 2023

Effective May 30, Google has introduced a new feature to expand and collapse content in your Google Docs.

This collapsible headings function makes it easier to consume content by enabling you to hide portions of larger documents. 

Editors of a document have the ability to set the default state of headers to expanded or collapsed for all users.

Users with view and comment access are able to expand and collapse content when they have the document open, and when they close the document their expand and collapse changes will not be saved. 

This feature is enabled for Google Docs within UGA’s instance of Google Workspace.

To access your Google Workspace, log in with your MyID and password at http://gdrive.uga.edu.
