We use expand boxes extensively across all our Confluence documents, and they’ve proven to be a very useful feature. However, we’re currently facing a couple of significant issues that we’d appreciate your help with:

Issue 1: Editing Pages
When a Confluence page is put into edit mode, all expand boxes automatically open by default. This makes it quite difficult to work efficiently.
Preferred Behavior: Expand boxes should remain collapsed when entering edit mode, or there should be an option to manage this behavior.

Issue 2: Search Functionality
Content within expand boxes is not searchable via global search unless the boxes are manually expanded first.
Preferred Behavior: Expand box content should be searchable globally, even when the boxes are collapsed, to improve search effectiveness.

Resolving these two issues would greatly enhance productivity and usability. Could you please assist us with this?
