Drawer Block

The Drawer Block allows you to add content to an article that can be toggled open and close.

Why would I use this block?

If your article has a sidebar of related content, use the Drawer block as a way to include the content in your article.

Examples:

• http://www.bu.edu/articles/2020/kara-nielsen-food-trend-spotter/
• http://www.bu.edu/articles/2020/latest-bu-news-on-coronavirus/
• http://www.bu.edu/articles/2019/erin-edwards-killed-in-family-tragedy/

Enter your content. The upper area is the teaser, which will display before the Drawer is open. It can include an image, title and text. The bottom area is the expanded content, which will display after the Drawer is open. It can include paragraphs, headings, and images.

Once you’ve added your content, you can align the block to the right or left.
