# Toggled Headings

A **Toggled Heading** is a heading that can be collapsed to hide everything beneath it. Click the toggle arrow and the section folds up; click again and it expands. The heading itself stays visible — only the content below collapses.

This works on all three heading levels: Title (H1), Heading (H2), and Subheading (H3).

## How it works

A Toggled Heading captures everything below it as children until the next heading of the same or higher level. When you collapse the toggle, all those child blocks are hidden.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/1lBBtNI8Sl3DcDswfOsV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

## Creating a Toggled Heading

#### From the slash menu

1. Type `/` in the editor.
2. Search for **Toggle Heading 1**, **Toggle Heading 2**, or **Toggle Heading 3**.
3. Select the level you want.
4. Type the heading text.

#### Markdown shortcuts

Type these at the start of a line:

* `#>` + space → Toggled Heading 1
* `##>` + space → Toggled Heading 2
* `###>` + space → Toggled Heading 3

#### Converting a regular toggle to a heading

If you've already created a regular toggle block (`>` + space), you can convert it to a toggled heading:

1. Place your cursor in the toggle.
2. Type `#`, `##`, or `###` followed by space.
3. The toggle becomes a toggled heading at that level.

#### Converting an existing heading to a toggle

To turn a regular heading into a toggled heading, you have two options.

1. Click the block handle, and **Turn into > Toggle Heading**.
2. Alternatively, you can type `> + space` in front of the heading.

## Working with Toggled Headings

#### Expand or collapse one

Click the triangle (▶ / ▼) to the left of the heading to toggle.

#### Expand or collapse multiple toggles at once

1. Highlight all the toggle blocks you want to open or close.
2. Click on the toggle button.

This works on both regular toggles and headings.

#### Add or remove children

To add content under a Toggled Heading, place your cursor at the end of the heading and press Enter — the new block is automatically nested.

To move a block out of a toggle, decrease its indent with Shift + Tab (or drag it to a position above the heading).

#### Convert back to a regular heading

Click the block handle and select > **Turn into > Heading 1** (or 2, or 3). The toggle behavior is removed but the children stay where they are.

## Behavior in different views

* **In the editor** — toggles work as described above.
* **In Flow view** — toggle state is preserved per Object.
* **In PDF export** — collapsed sections are still exported. Choose **Expand all** before export if you want a tighter PDF.
* **In Markdown export** — toggle state is not preserved (Markdown has no native toggle syntax); all content is exported as standard headings.

## Tips

{% hint style="info" %}
**Use the Title-level toggle as a section divider.** A Toggled H1 named "Archive" or "Old notes" lets you stash content out of the way without deleting it.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Convert a heading to a toggle to organize quickly.** If a page is already structured with headings, converting them to toggles is a one-click way to add collapsible sections without restructuring.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.anytype.io/anytype-docs/creation/blocks/toggled-headings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
