Magento 2 Collapsible Open by Default | How-to Enable

In Magento 2, “collapsible open by default” refers to a feature where certain sections within the admin interface of the Magento 2 store are displayed in an expanded state when a page loads.

This comes in handy for improving the user experience by making information readily visible without requiring the user to manually expand sections.

Magento 2 offers an admin interface to manage different parts of an e-commerce store. It also sets certain sections or panels to be open or collapsed to reveal more information or settings.

For instance, let’s take a look at how “collapsible open by default” is implemented in Magento 2:

Suppose we are in the admin dashboard and there is a section that displays order details. By default, this section may be collapsed and displays only basic information like order IDs and customer names.

However, if we enable “collapsible open by default” feature, this section will be open when the page loads. It will reveal more details like order items, shipping information, etc. Furthermore, this makes it easier for the admin user to quickly access important information without manually expanding the section.

Additionally, enabling this feature involves a combination of Magento 2’s configuration settings and some customizations with themes or extensions.

How to set up Collapsible Open by Default feature in Magento 2

We can accomplish this with these steps:

1. First, we have to customize the relevant template files, JavaScript code, or CSS styles to control the default collapsed or expanded state.
2. In some cases, a custom theme or extension may let us enable “collapsible open by default” for certain sections or panels within the admin interface.
3. Magento 2 also offers configuration settings that let us control the default state of collapsible sections.
4. If we are using JavaScript to handle collapsible elements, we may have to modify the initialization code to set the default expanded state.

Our experts would like to point out we have to be careful while changing the behavior of the Magento 2 admin interface.
