Drawer enhancements – you already have some of this
Drawers within drawers
Multiple drawer sets
Double-duty drawer pages
Re-use drawer content
Make drawer content linkable
Hide expand all if there’s only 1 drawer
Widgets – you’re gonna have to be more specific

16. To create a new set of drawers, you need an additional Middle Block set which includes:

Middle Blocks >> Bottom

17. First, collapse all Middle Blocks in the set except for the first one (Middle Blocks):

18. Next, click green plus sign next to Middle Blocks
Next, click green plus sign next to Middle Blocks. You now have 2 sets of drawers.

19. Go to Middle Blocks (2/2) and expand
Middle Blocks >> Top
Add your new section heading to the WYSIWYG field

20. If you get confused, collapse all the Middle Blocks fields
