# Collapsible Chapters
The sidebar navigation supports collapsible chapters for nested content.
## How It Works
Chapters with sub-items can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the arrow icon.
```markdown
# Summary
* [Introduction](README.md)
* [Chapter 1](chapter1/README.md)
* [Section 1.1](chapter1/section1.md)
* [Section 1.2](chapter1/section2.md)
* [Chapter 2](chapter2.md)
```
In this example, "Chapter 1" will have an expand/collapse arrow.
## State Persistence
The sidebar state is saved in `localStorage`, so expanded/collapsed chapters persist across page reloads.
## Disable Collapsible Chapters
```json
{
"plugins": ["-collapsible-chapters"]
}
```
