When a Gamma presentation or page becomes text-heavy, structure matters. Toggles, nested cards, and footnotes help you keep the main flow clean while still preserving depth and supporting details.
When to use each feature
Use toggles for collapsible details
Toggles are useful when you want to hide supporting information until the reader needs it. They work well for FAQs, advanced notes, optional explanations, or technical detail.
Use nested cards for grouped sub-sections
Nested cards are a strong option when a topic belongs inside a larger card but still needs its own structure. They are helpful for examples, breakdowns, mini-processes, or grouped content.
Use footnotes for references and supporting context
Footnotes help keep the main card readable while still preserving citations, definitions, side notes, or references.
How to add them quickly
Inside Gamma, a fast workflow is to type / and choose the content type you want. This makes it easier to insert structure while you are writing.
How footnotes help readability
Instead of overloading the main card with secondary detail, place supporting information in footnotes. This improves scanning and keeps the headline idea stronger.
How toggles improve long pages
If your page has advanced details, optional guidance, or expandable answers, toggles make the content easier to browse without forcing the reader to scroll through everything at once.
How nested cards help modular content
Nested cards are especially useful in workflows where one section contains mini-sections, examples, or grouped elements that should stay together visually.
Best practices
- Do not hide critical information inside toggles
- Use footnotes for support, not for core messaging
- Keep nested cards focused on one logical cluster
- Use these tools to improve scanning, not to overcomplicate the page
