A Toggle Button in Elementor is a clickable element, such as a button or icon, allowing users to show or hide content dynamically. When clicked, the button can reveal a hidden webpage section, like a dropdown menu, additional text, or images. This functionality is especially useful for creating interactive elements like FAQs, collapsible sections, or dropdown menus, helping to keep your webpage clean and organized while allowing users to access more information only when they need it.
