Here in the FAQ section, we have the following settings under accordion.
Column count Column count in an accordion refers to the number of columns that the content within the accordion is displayed in.
When an accordion has a column count of 1, the content is displayed in a single column. If the accordion has a column count of 2, the content is divided into two columns, and so on.
This setting can be useful for organizing content and making it easier to read, particularly if there is a large amount of text or images within the accordion.
