would like to request an enhancement to the product listing page sidebar (filter menu). Currently, sub-categories are permanently visible or follow a static layout. I am requesting the ability to make the left-hand category menu expandable and collapsible to improve site navigation and aesthetics.

Reference Image

Please refer to the attached file image.png for a visual of the current layout.

Detailed Description

• Expand/Collapse Functionality: Add a toggle icon (such as a chevron or plus/minus sign) next to parent categories that contain sub-categories.

• Default State: The ability to choose whether categories are "collapsed" or "expanded" by default when a user lands on the page.

• Visual Hierarchy: As seen in image.png, I have multiple nested layers (e.g., Room Mock-ups (Blank) containing Blank Room Mock-ups, Rustic Mockups, etc.). An accordion-style menu would allow users to hide sections they aren't interested in, reducing the need for excessive scrolling.

• Improved UX: This will prevent the sidebar from becoming too long and overwhelming for students browsing a large variety of digital products or courses.

Use Case

In my current setup shown in image.png, the "Filter" section is quite long. If I add more categories under "Software" or "Room Mock-ups," the "Price" filter and other lower menu items will be pushed off-screen. An expandable menu solves this by keeping the interface compact.

Does this capture everything you were looking to change, or should we add a specific note about how it should behave on mobile devices too?
