Toggles
Overview
Toggles are a type of button that let your users quickly update data in your app.  There are two common uses for toggle:
Update a True/False property of a record
e.g. if your Users collection has an "Is Admin" property or if your Trips collection has an "Is Draft" property
Clicking the toggle will update whether the Trip the user is viewing is a draft or not.
Update the relationship between two records
e.g. if your Trip collection has a relationship property called "Travel Party" that relates to multiple user records
Clicking the toggle can update whether the Logged In User is a member of the Travel Party or not
