  • Link this layout to the "FAQs" table you just created.

Step 6: Configure List Items

  • Click on a list item to tweak its details.
  • Set the "Title" to bind to the Question column.
  • Set the "Details" or Subtitle to bind to the Answer column.

Step 7: Customize User Interaction

  • Turn on the "Accordion" feature so users can expand and collapse the FAQ items.
  • Or, choose the "Show details" action when a list item is clicked to move to a detailed view showing the answer.

Step 8: Optional Enhancements

  • Add filters to categorize questions.
  • Use visibility conditions to show or hide certain questions based on user roles or other conditions.

Step 9: Publish and Share

  • Preview your FAQ section to make sure everything looks and works as expected.
  • Once you're happy with it, click the "Publish" button to make your app live.
