Not anything you changed, but I find the second sentence confusing. I've read it 3 times now and can't work out what it's trying to tell me.

@calvin-lau-sig7 are you able to help me with making this a bit clearer?

Why
After visiting the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC) and meeting a user of Dragon in and out of work, I was made aware of the difficulty they experience when using details components on pages.
I also witnessed how the language we used in our details guidance to refer to the issue made them feel untrusted.
This change is likely something we can do alongside improving the component.
