Displaying Inline Modules


An Inline Module allows you to display related items from a child module. Its appearance depends on the configured view, but typically it will be anchored either to the top or bottom of the page. The module can be opened, expanded, or collapsed as needed. When expanded, the header of the parent module remains visible and accessible, helping users maintain context while working.
