Accordion − Accordions are mostly used when the content is supposed to be in section type of view and any, one section is visible at a time. You can hide and open the next section to view the contents in it.

Dropdowns − To work with dropdowns adding the css .dropdown-menu to the container serves the purpose.

Modals and Overlays − Modals and Overlays will show a pop-up type window on your screen. Overlays differ from modal only in how the container is displayed for it.

Sections − Sections are containers that are displayed inside the body. You can modify the layout of your display in the device with classes available with sections. You can make use of the classes like .section-default, .section-primary, .section-success, .section-info, .section-warning or .section-danger to change the layout.
