Accordion web part for SharePoint

The Sprocket Accordion web part shows SharePoint content as collapsible sections that readers expand on demand, with a built-in search across every panel.

Long policy pages and FAQs are hard to scan in modern SharePoint. The Accordion web part turns them into tidy expandable sections, written directly in the web part or pulled from a SharePoint list on any site.

Accordion web part FAQs

Does SharePoint Online have an accordion web part?

Modern SharePoint can make a text section collapsible, but it has no dedicated accordion web part with search, list sources or grouping. The Sprocket Accordion web part adds those, and installs with Sprocket Studio from Microsoft AppSource.

Can the Accordion pull items from a SharePoint list?

Yes. Choose the List type and point it at a list on the current site or any other site. Items can be grouped by a list column, and answers can be formatted in an HTML editor.

Can readers search inside the accordion?

Yes. Turn on the search bar and readers can search item titles and contents, with matching panels shown instantly.
