Make "toggle" a feature of every block

[4thHydro]

Wondering about the progress of this feature. Really looking forward to it!!!

[jakub]

For me sufficient would be to allow adjusting the toggle size by combining them with headings. Similarly to Craft approach:

Instead of making every block collapsable, I prefer that way which allows me to decide when to use it

This was always the intention of this feature request:

@Oshyan

If you look at other systems that use blocks, such as Roam, every block can be collapsed. This is a good example, however we do not want everything to be an “outline” (set of bullet points) as it is in Roam

@Oshyan

Only the “outliner” apps like Roam and Dynalist, etc. seem to have realized this, although they essentially enforce all content to be “lists”, which is also non-ideal. Free page layout, including columns, but allowing toggle on a per-block basis, would be a nice improvement that no other system that I’m aware of has implemented. One trick may be implementing it in an intuitive but not obtrusive way, but I trust the team can resolve that!

@Oshyan

Basically you can have almost any block be a toggle, it’s just a “property” of a block.

I still think Capacities has one of the best current example implementations of this:

Make "toggle" a feature of every block instead of/in addition to a block type

I saw a recent implementation of this that I really liked, and which aligned with much of how I had been thinking about the “formatting” vs. “functionality” of blocks as well. In short, I think an extension of the “toggle on every block” concept is that certain kinds of functionality could be separated from formatting, as they are arguably separate concepts. How something looks vs. how something works (what you can do with it, how you can interact with it, if at all). To some degree the lines ar…

I’ve just created an account here to ask for this, truly a mass request.

Update: This is in the backlog for 2024 on our Public Roadmap

Toggle a powerful and space saving feature has a Two significant limitation.

• 1. A toggle cannot be made with heading or subheading
• 2. A toggle current design > does not give hint whether any information is present in the closed toggle.

Alternates :

Notion does it better for point 2. The visual hint is good enough.

I hope the developer put this is in higher priority and fixes this soon.

Hey, any news about it? In Notion, we can make toggle headings, and I think this is a very useful feature. Do you know if there’s any implementation scheduled for it?

I might be adding difficulties again , but it would be nice if inline set/collection can be toggle as well.

Real world use case

Inline set/collection can act as an overview to all linked objects, at the top of the canvas. If this is togglable, both overviews and actual contents can be at hand.

[jakub]

@Angelo even Apple Notes has that feature since the latest version…

[Filip]

Is that for every block or just for headings?

[jakub]

@Filip Just for headings which is sufficient to going through the long documents

[gfrbr]

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Just like Notion, a toggle list can also be one of the three types of headings (i. e., heading 1, 2 and 3 hierarchically).

HOW COULD IT BE DONE?

It could be done by adding the function of adding toggle heading with different sizes and hierarchically organized, that is, toggle heading 1 encompasses toggle heading 2 and so on.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

This creates further organization/hierarchy through the elements of the notes/texts (because today the only option is to insert toggles but the text inside the toggle can be bigger than the main toggle that is the toggle) and also saves a lot of time when editing a text since you can let the toggles closed to scroll in it faster.

As you can see in the video below that a page can also turned into a toggle and you can see what is inside of it and also you can use that page as toggle heading and write stuff inside that toggle as shown in the video.
It’s not shown in the video but you can also alter the stuff inside the toggle(page)

@Filip Any ETA? It is not such a complex feature that it requires many sprints, but it is really kind a blocker for writing long notes. Especially on a phone, it is a nightmare to go through such a long document.

Four years is plenty of time to implement it…

As I said before, please allow us to at least collapse the headers.

[Filip]

@jakub

Any ETA?

It’s in the backlog on our roadmap.

Any toggle creation

[4thHydro]

Any update? still in the backlog

[Filip]

It’s still in our backlog at the moment.

[jakub]

How can we persuade you to include it in the next sprint scope?

[Naesris]

Throwing my support behind this, i need flexibility and having to always use the same dropdown toggle is annoying.
