Best Practices

Use checkboxes so that users can select one or more options from a list, or none at all.

Use a stand-alone checkbox to toggle a single option on/off if the result is not immediately visible, e.g., when a final confirmation from the user is required to apply changes.

Conversely, if the result is applied immediately, such as a change of display, use a Toggle instead.

Aim for seven or less options. If that's impossible, consider breaking your set of options into several smaller logical sets or consider using Multi select instead.

List options in alphanumerical order unless a more suited ordering rationale applies, for example when listing size or security level options. If no rationale stands out, place options in alphanumerical order.

Labeling

Keep titles and labels short, preferably under three words.

Title

Always use a title when offering multiple options.

Provide a descriptive title without action verbs. For example, write "Grocery items" rather than "Select all grocery items".

For a stand-alone checkbox, the title is optional. Use a title only if you need to dissociate the stand-alone checkbox from other adjacent checkboxes.

Labels

Labels identify each option and should be self-explanatory.

Use a consistent writing style for all options in the list.

For a stand-alone checkbox, use a positive and active wording that clearly indicates what happens if the checkbox is selected. For example, write "Send me a text notification" rather than "Email notification".

Help Text and Instructions

Instructions provide more context on the outcome of the choice to make. Use it sparingly, only when it is critical to the user's understanding.

Feedback and Validation

If there is a maximum number of options that users can select, indicate it in a description.

If an option is recommended or the default, indicate it in its label.

The partially selected state is only allowed with checkboxes that have children options. A partially selected parent checkbox indicates that only some of its children options are selected.

Related Components

If your use case doesn't match the guidelines above, consider using one of the following components instead:

Multi select - When there are more than seven options.
Toggle - When the result applies immediately, for example with a change of display.
Radio button - When options are mutually exclusive.
