Don'tAvoid using a TreeView when you need to create expandable and collapsible sections of content. In such cases, use Accordions.

Icons

Visual cues and icons play a crucial role in enhancing the usability of the TreeView component. They provide valuable visual indicators that help users navigate, comprehend the hierarchy, and identify different types of nodes within the tree.
