Checkboxes

Checkboxes let users make multiple selections and toggle individual options. They show a checkmark when enabled and remain empty when disabled. An indeterminate state can indicate mixed states in multi-level lists.

While similar to toggle switches, checkboxes serve different purposes.

Use checkboxes for:

• Actions requiring final review and confirmation via Submit button
• Forms with additional steps after selection
• Multiple-choice options within one category
• Actions needing clear on/off states

Design checkboxes following standard control guidelines: recognizable shape, clear icons, and adequate touch targets.

Labels vary by context: brief for option lists, but can be longer for standalone checkboxes (like Terms and Conditions agreements).
