Divi 5 Interactions: How to Create Expandable Text Reveals on Button Click
Interactive content is one of the most effective ways to improve user experience, and Divi 5 introduces powerful new tools to make this easier than ever. In this tutorial, we’re creating an expandable text module reveal using Divi 5’s new Interactions system.
The goal of this effect is simple but impactful. When a visitor clicks a button, hidden text expands smoothly into view, allowing more content to be revealed without cluttering the page.
We begin by setting up a text module with a fixed height. This keeps the initial layout clean and compact while hiding the extra content below the fold.
Next, we add a button module that will trigger the interaction. Using Divi 5 Interactions, we configure a click event that expands the height of the text module to reveal the hidden content.
At the same time, we apply a second interaction that hides the button once the text is expanded. This prevents redundant UI elements and keeps the design clean.
To complete the experience, we add a reverse interaction. Clicking on the expanded text module collapses it back to its original height and makes the button reappear.
This creates a smooth, intuitive toggle effect without requiring any JavaScript or plugins. Everything is handled visually inside the Divi 5 builder.
We also adjust transition timing and easing to ensure the animation feels natural and polished. Small tweaks here make a big difference in perceived quality.
This expandable text interaction is perfect for FAQs, feature explanations, product descriptions, and “read more” sections where space and clarity matter.
Because Divi 5 interactions are responsive, the effect works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The interaction adapts naturally to touch input on smaller screens.
We also cover best practices for accessibility and usability, ensuring clickable elements remain clear and intuitive for all users.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a professional, reusable interactive text reveal that enhances both design and user experience.
Divi 5 Interactions open the door to a new level of no-code interactivity, and this expandable text reveal is just one powerful example of what’s now possible.
