# Breadcrumb: Collapsed

> Wrap middle segments in `<BreadcrumbCollapse />`. They hide behind an ellipsis and slide open in place, and focus moves to the first revealed link. Pass `open` and `onOpenChange` to control it.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/breadcrumb/examples/controlled
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/breadcrumb.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/breadcrumb-controlled.json
```

This adds `components/examples/breadcrumb/controlled.tsx` with the Breadcrumb component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
