You can also use a Click and Reveal to provide additional optional learning materials. There are two format options available: Questionand Standard.
Callout separates the content within the rectangle from the rest of the content. Callouts are useful for drawing attention to a key detail. There are four format options available: Standard, Question, Attention and Jumbo.
