A toggle is a switch that can be clicked to change its state from off to on. It is commonly used in technology, computing, programming and communications to provide a way for users to switch between different settings or options.
The Visibility Toggle feature enables the owner of a world to hide or reveal article sections, containers, images, maps, key/value items, prompt linked articles, quotes, aloud boxes, character relations, and diplomacy relations. This is an important feature for a world that wants to protect sensitive information from viewers or other owners, or for a world with a very large amount of content that needs to be hidden in order to preserve bandwidth.
This is a powerful and flexible tool, but it can also create a lot of confusion in a shared environment. As such, it is important to carefully consider the scope of a Toggle before using it.
It is generally not a good idea to use a toggle for any form fields where users must click a Save or Confirm button for changes to take effect. In these cases, a checkbox should be used instead.
Toggle switches need to be clearly labeled to make it easy for users to understand what each option does. It is also helpful to include visual cues such as color changes or animations to indicate when a toggle has changed states. It is also important to ensure that toggles are accessible for all users, especially those who use screen readers and other assistive technologies.
