When the object page header contains at least one facet:

• On the initial load of the object page, the header is expanded.
• When the user scrolls down the page, the header collapses.
• The Expand/Collapse    button and the Pin/Unpin  button are displayed.

When the object page header contains only a title and a subtitle, the Expand/Collapse    button and the Pin/Unpin  button are not displayed.

With SAP Fiori elements for OData V2, when users scroll on a mobile phone screen, the object page optimizes the screen space by displaying a summary line instead of the collapsed header.

Next to the title, an arrow   button lets the users expand the header.
