Usage# The following section provides guidance for designers and developers on how to use this component in different situations. Do: Use for a list of options when you want the user to select one, none, or multiple options. Use when an explicit action is required to apply to settings. Use the default view for checkboxes when no option is selected. Use the indeterminate state only as a visual state and not as a direct user interaction. Nest when a parent and child relationship is needed. Use short and descriptive label text for each checkbox option. Provide validation messages for each checkbox option if needed. Set vertically left-aligned for better scannability. Don't: Avoid using when you have more than 8 options to choose from or consider using a Select. Don't mix Radio Group options with checkboxes. Don't change the selection of another checkbox when a nested one is clicked. The only exception is when a checkbox is used to make a bulk selection of multiple items.
