Nested content element
This feature is available in Contao 5.3 and later.
If you select one of these element types Accordion, Element group and Content slider, you create a nested content element. In the past, you had to create wrapper start and a wrapper stop and the content was then placed inside.
This could very quickly become confusing and if, for example, you accidentally hid or deleted just one of the elements, it could have an impact on the front end display. But with the introduction of nested content elements is a thing of the past.
With the new nested content elements, you create an element in which you can then place child elements. You can
recognize nested content elements by the icon
