Description

Inspired by this comment

As we add more examples to component pages on the docs site, it's possible users will feel overwhelmed with the amount of information presented at once.

It'd be great to ensure we don't overwhelm users, without scaling back the number of examples we provide for components.

One possible way to address this would be to add collapsible sections to the docs pages, so examples could be shown/hidden.

I'm sure there are other solutions to consider as well (hence marking this issue as "discovery")

Research direction

Start by reviewing the component docs pages and the linked comment in Paragon pull request 2451. Compare collapsible examples with other ways to reduce information overload, then document a selected approach and its scope. Done means the discovery produces an agreed direction for improving how examples are presented.
