Granular Controls for Elementor brings additional controls to the ever popular Elementor Page Builder plugin.
This plugin gives you the options to set the Accordion’s first tab to closed on page load, select a custom editor skin, set a specific section/column to appear after a certain time (Delayed content),
schedule a section/column to be displayed during a given date period by setting the start and end date, plus much more to come.

Sadly no longer supported.
Still some useful things here but some no longer work such as scheduled content. Others such as parallax superceded by Elementor updates.
Pity its not supported anymore
Works great to set all Elementor’s accordions’ first tab to be closed on page load.
(I have no clue why that possibility isn’t possible directly in Elementor)
