# Section A container view that you can use to add hierarchy within certain views. ``` struct Section ``` ## Overview Use `Section` instances in views like [`List`](/documentation/SwiftUI/List), [`Picker`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Picker), and [`Form`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Form) to organize content into separate sections. Each section has custom content that you provide on a per-instance basis. You can also provide headers and footers for each section. ### Collapsible sections Create sections that expand and collapse by using an initializer that accepts an `isExpanded` binding. A collapsible section in a [`List`](/documentation/SwiftUI/List) that uses the [`sidebar`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ListStyle/sidebar) style shows a disclosure indicator next to the section’s header. Tapping on the disclosure indicator toggles the appearance of the section’s content. > Note: Not all contexts provide a default control to trigger collapse or > expansion. ## Topics ### Creating a section [`init(content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(content:)) Creates a section with the provided section content. [`init(_:content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(_:content:)) Creates a section with the provided section content. ### Adding headers and footers [`init(content:header:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(content:header:)) Creates a section with a header and the provided section content. [`init(content:footer:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(content:footer:)) Creates a section with a footer and the provided section content. [`init(content:header:footer:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(content:header:footer:)) Creates a section with a header, footer, and the provided section content. ### Controlling collapsibility [`init(_:isExpanded:content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(_:isExpanded:content:)) Creates a section with the provided section content. [`init(isExpanded:content:header:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(isExpanded:content:header:)) Creates a section with the provided section content. ### Deprecated symbols [`init(header:content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(header:content:)) Creates a section with a header and the provided section content. [`init(footer:content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(footer:content:)) Creates a section with a footer and the provided section content. [`init(header:footer:content:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/init(header:footer:content:)) Creates a section with a header, footer, and the provided section content. [`collapsible(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Section/collapsible(_:)) Sets whether a section can be collapsed by the user. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
