I am now writing a SOP, which will have "lean" and "details" version with
different of "level of details" for reader. Can i make a "button" for reader
so they can read the lean version, and if they want to switch to details,
just click the button to switch?

Format the details material using a distinct set of styles. Use a button --
toolbar button, macro button, or whatever you like -- to call a macro that
toggles the Font.Hidden property of those styles.

Downsides of this include -- a) you have to distribute a macro with your
document, which carries a heap of security issues, and b) some users will
just NEVER understand what's going on.

Do you have the macro for this?

Is there a build-in function in word so it is easier for users to use?

No, there is no built-in function for this.

The macro would be something like

pState = TRUE (or FALSE)

activedocument.Styles("Style_X").Font.Hidden = pState
activedocument.Styles("Style_Y").Font.Hidden = pState
:


But don't go there. You're making a lot of work for yourself, for a result
that will be mediocre at best. Better to invest the effort in designing your
SOPs properly, to eliminate the need for this kind of device.
