Move the Styling Fields to the Styles Tab
In the latest update of the Advanced Accordion, we have made an enhancement to improve user experience and interface organization. The styling fields have been relocated to the Styles tab.

This change streamlines the process of customizing the appearance of accordions, providing a more intuitive and efficient workflow.

Icon Change & Position Option Resolved
We have addressed a previous issue with the icon change and position functionality in the Advanced Accordion feature. Users can now customize both the icons used for expanded and collapsed states, as well as their position within the accordion header.
Style & Script Loaded Conditionally.
We’ve enhanced the Advanced Accordion feature to improve performance and optimize page loading. Now, styles and scripts associated with the accordion are loaded conditionally, meaning they are only fetched when the accordion is used or visible on the page.
