Toggle Field

Table of Contents

This is an advanced-use feature, and likely not something you'll need to configure. What you probably want is the content types reference!

The toggle field represents a true/false toggle. This field is typically used for boolean content values. You could use this to toggle a certain feature on the page on or off.
