CCC's The Article system is great for displaying FAQs on the page with a user-controlled toggle. In this configuration, all questions are displayed on the page, with the answer hidden until the user deliberately clicks to expand it. This allows for a clean, streamlined display of your Help content, without intimidating the user with a wall of text. |
