This course format looks very similar to Topics format except:
- there is no parameter "Number of sections", sections can be added and removed as necessary
- section can also be added inside another section
- each section (regardless of its nesting level) can be shown expanded or collapsed. Teacher can change it in edit mode.
- If section is displayed collapsed, it's name is displayed as a link to the separate page and on this separate page the link "Back to ... " is displayed
If teacher hides a section all nested sections and activities become hidden as well.
Please note that if section has both activities and subsections activities are displayed first.
On the attached screenshots the section "Assignments" has Label resource and two subsections - "New assignments" (displayed expanded) and "Old assignments" (collapsed). Note how course navigation looks like in this case.

And if possible, add options to format headers.
Congratulations for your flexible sections plugin. I saw it in action on a platform and I would like to put it on mine too, but I saw that it is not suitable for the version of Moodle 3.7. Will there also be a more updated version for more recent platforms?
Thanks.
Good day.

Hi, I think it's a good idea to insert the ability to have a css class for each section
I am using it (v3.5.1 2020051100) in a new Moodle installation (v3.10.1 20210130, after an old Moodle server's hardware failure), with the default Boost theme. It works, seemingly as it was intended and as I used it in the older Moodle.
Would it be possible to make the sub-topics collapsible? Maybe even making that an editor's option?
would the latest version work with the latest version of Moodle?
