How do I create a toggle list in Notion?

Creating a toggle list in Notion starts with a simple command that transforms how you organize information on any page. You can create this collapsible content block by typing `/toggle` and pressing Enter, which immediately generates a header with a right-facing arrow that expands to reveal hidden content when clicked. This feature serves as a powerful organizational tool, allowing you to build interactive outlines, task lists, and FAQ sections while keeping your pages clean and scannable. Toggle lists essentially give you control over information density, letting readers choose what details they want to explore.

The creation process works consistently across all Notion platforms, whether you're using the web version, desktop app, or mobile interface. After typing the slash command, you'll see your toggle block appear with space for a header title. Click the small arrow next to your header to expand the toggle area, where you can add text, images, databases, or even nest additional toggles to create multi-level collapsible sections. You can also create toggles through the block menu by clicking the "+" button and selecting "Toggle List," or transform existing content by hovering over any block, clicking the six-dot menu, and selecting "Turn Into" followed by "Toggle List."

Advanced formatting opens up even more possibilities for toggle lists. You can drag and drop existing blocks into expanded toggles, nest toggles within other toggles for complex hierarchies, and even insert tables or columns using a workaround method involving child pages. The system also supports color coding through `/color` commands and accommodates various content types, making toggles versatile containers for different information structures.

While toggle lists excel at decluttering pages and improving content navigation, they do come with some limitations. You cannot directly create columns inside toggles without using the child page workaround, and some complex formatting may require manual adjustment after converting existing blocks. Additionally, bulk toggle creation remains a manual process, as Notion doesn't yet support mass conversion features.

These organizational tools prove particularly valuable for step-by-step instructions, meeting notes, and study materials where you want to present information progressively. Toggle lists transform dense content into interactive experiences, helping both creators and readers manage information more effectively while maintaining the flexibility that makes Notion such a powerful workspace tool.
