☑️ Checkbox — Documentation

🧭 When to Use / When Not to Use

Use When

• Users need to select multiple independent options.
• A feature needs to be enabled or disabled (yes/no).
• A form requires explicit consent or agreement.
• Options are non-exclusive and can all be true simultaneously.
• You need to show a partial/mixed state using indeterminate functionality.

Avoid When

• Only one option can be selected → use Radio Buttons.
• You need a simple on/off action that applies instantly → use a Switch.
• Options represent a range or quantity → use Slider or Select.
• The action must be triggered immediately → use Button.

🎨 Considerations

Clarity & Labeling

• Always include a clear label; never rely on the checkbox alone.
• Checkbox and label must act as a single clickable target.
• Use short, direct labels in sentence case.
