Expand Button

Expand buttons enable end-users to expand or collapse parent nodes (nodes that have children). When a parent node is collapsed, the node’s expand button displays a ‘plus’ sign indicating that the node can be expanded by clicking the button. Once a node has been expanded, the node’s button displays a ‘minus’ sign.
