Can I create collapsible headers in Paper?
Can I create collapsable headers in Dropbox paper?
Of course you can engage!
You can add an H1 or H2 by using the formatting toolbar or the shortcuts listed below.
- H1: Type # and press space, then type your header
- H2: Type ## and press space, then type your header
- H3: Type ### and press space, then continue typing (you can also add an H3 by highlighting and bolding an entire line of text)
You can also make H1 and H2 headers more bold by highlighting and bolding them as you would with any other text.
To collapse or expand them, click on the downward arrow on the left of the header you'd like to take these actions on.
I hope this helps and please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to ask too. Thanks for using Paper!

Hi thanks for the quick reply. I was able to make headers but the arrow next to the header seems to only function to copy the link. It doesn't give me any options to collapse the information. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Did you click on the bookmark icon maybe engage?
The arrow ( to the left of the header itself) works fine for me here. I am attaching a screenshot for you to see clearly which icon(s) I was talking about. Click that arrow to collapse/expand the section's content.
I hope this helps! It's not an option for me while editing the document. Is it only avalible while viewing the finished document?
- Walter
There should be some content under the header for you to be able to collapse/expand (using the arrows shown in my screenshot) for that purpose engage!
Does this help?
Also, do you notice the same behavior on other browsers too?
Hi yes, I've tried explorer and chrome and I still don't have that feature.

Hi Walter
I also don't see the disclosure triangle/arrow. Is this a beta feature?

I thought I was going crazy, my work account has these arrows but my personal does not.
Any idea when we can expect a full rollout? I'm dying a little inside everytime I try to collapse a section in my docs.

Not at the moment johnnyauburn - sorry to keep you waiting, yet, I'll ask the team for you though and I'll make sure to post here when I get an update on this.
Should you need anything else in the meantime, please, let me know.
Once again, thanks for showing your interest in this feature - I'll pass the feedback on to our Paper team's devs.
Cheers!
