# Create a Checkbox


## 1. How Does the Checkbox Display?

The Checkbox option displays as a small square box that users can click to select or deselect a choice. It can be used individually or in groups when multiple selections are allowed. When selected, it shows a checkmark (✔️) tick inside the box.

Example of how it appears on a product page:

* A Candle product with a Checkbox to select Fragrance: Lavender, Vanilla, Eucalyptus,..
