What Your Page Looks Like in View as Published Mode

Accordions in Preview and Edit
In Edit, Accordions are all open by default, so you can edit the content.
When you put a page in Preview, the Accordions will remain open. Refresh your browser window, and the Accordions will collapse for testing.
After you have previewed your content, you can put your page back into Edit mode. You will need to refresh your browser again for the Accordions to open back up for editing.
