ExpansionPanel Overview
The ExpansionPanel is a versatile UI component commonly used in web and application design. It facilitates the display of content in expandable panels that the user can expand or collapse to show or hide additional information, options, or details. These panels consist of a header that includes a title, a subtitle, and an expansion indicator icon that shows the state of the panel. They are also accompanied by a content area that becomes visible or hidden depending on whether the area is expanded or collapsed.
