This template's initial visibility currently defaults to collapsed, meaning that it is hidden apart from its title bar.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=parameter may be used:
{{Byzantine Empire topics|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
{{Byzantine Empire topics|state=autocollapse}} will show the template autocollapsed, i.e. if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar, but if not, it is fully visible.
How to manage this template's collapsible groups/sections option
This template includes collapsible groups/sections. When it first appears, one of these groups/sections may be set to be visible ("expanded") while the others remain hidden ("collapsed") apart from their titlebars. To achieve this, include the parameter|name where name is one of the following words that identify the groups/sections (omit any speech or quotation marks):
history
governance
military
religion/law
society
impact
For example: {{Byzantine Empire topics |religion/law}}
