Guides: Option for contracting the “word for word” section in guides and workflows

Please implement an option to collapse all the words (not the verses) in the "word by word" section, so that only the words in the original languages are displayed. This way, I can choose whether to click on a word to see more information and study it further.
_________
When we use some guides or workflows in Logos, one of the sections is "word by word." Currently, it seems to open by default in an expanded format for 4 verses, showing each of the original words of those verses. The next 5 verses open with the original words collapsed (which can be expanded), and the remaining verses in longer passages do not appear unless you click "More" to generate the additional verses.
I find that too much information is displayed at once. I think it would be preferable if there were an option to collapse all the words (not the verses), so that only the original language words are expanded, and I could decide if I want to click on a word to see the information (lemma, parsing/declension, meaning, and dictionaries). This would make it easier and less cluttered to go through the text word by word.
This could be done in the general settings of the "word by word" tab, or by having an option to right-click on a word and choose to collapse or expand all of them. Currently, there is this option to expand/collapse in the larger sections. What I suggest is having the same option in the smaller parts of each section.
I took a screenshot showing, on the left side, how "word by word" currently appears when opened; and on the right side, how I believe it would be better if each word opened (green rectangle), leaving it up to me to decide which word to expand by clicking on it (blue rectangle and orange arrow).

The Word by Word section already has settings to not expand parts of speech by default.0

@Bradley Grainger This option is interesting and I actually thought it would simply hide the words and leave me without them (or some classes). However, my suggestion was different from that, it was to keep the selected word classes (verbs, nouns and adjectives), but without expanding the study.
