Spoilers are available in the current community platform as of 3/17/2021.
Yes, just about that much. Thanks.
edit:
JonesCarpeDiem, my apologies if you were really asking about spoilers, not being spoiled. I'm into one and noted for the other.
Jive doesn't have that natively. There is probably some html that would facilitate that via the <> button on the advanced rich text editor toolbar.

So, that means you can import that html format into jive?
the spoiler code formats
<spoiler> Text to be hidden. </spoiler>
test: [spoiler]Text you want to hide[/spoiler]
don't work as they are.
Yes it MAY be possible. Shortcodes/bbcodes don't work. The html code i attempted to insert didn't work but I didn't do much searching.

Basically it is a function that has a button or link that can hide/show information.

It allows you to hide/show something without giving away the answer.

Hi Bree19! that is not a blond question at all. I'm pretty blond myself most of the time, and I'm a brunette. Sorry I didn't explain in my original question what a spoiler is ... I guess I didn't think about anyone reading this post over here in community help
Spoilers are used to shorten content, and to allow pages to open faster. I'm not a techie. I know spoilers from other websites that I'm active on. Don't ask me how they work.
A spoiler is like a brown paper bag. You put stuff in there, and put a label on it. People can click on the label to open it if they want to see the stuff inside. If they don't, it's just a couple words long and easy to skip over. Here's where they're handy:
1. Repetitive content
I have a ton of text that some people may want to read and others may not. Like on the Freedom Train or the Pledge Page. All the big long intro before you get to the new content? All that can go into a spoiler. People who are familiar with the info don't have to scroll all the way through it to get to the new content.
2. large amount of background information
I want to say something that I need to give some background on, but the background information isn't the key thing I want to say. Like, I want to talk about how Uruguay beat big tobacco, but there's a lot of background information that I want people to be able to skip over if they aren't interested. I can put all that into a spoiler.
3. large images
I have this really cool image I want to share, but it's really really big. I can post a thumbnail or smaller size version of the image, and people can click on it if they want to see the big size. But people on mobile devices don't have that big size image jambing up their device.
It's not secret code; it's just a tool for posting content, like inserting a link.
