Hi! I’m Davina and while I searched here for “how to add a checklist”, I saw comments on that but that it is not a feature yet. So, I would like to submit this idea as I guess in my case it would be very helpful. I visualize a workflow and there are many steps and also different softwares involved. So being able to have checkboxes would be helpful to keep the overview and minimize errors.

Thanks and best regards

Hey @Davina - thanks for the idea. I’m curious to learn a bit more about how you would picture using checkboxes. Do you imagine this being something that would be on the canvas and if you check it, it would be checked for any other user who came to the document? Or is it something that would want to be unique for a new person coming to the document? Would checking a box on the list influence the diagram in some way or is it just a visual element on the canvas? 

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply @kellsworth! It took a while for me to reply but here I go :) I thought of a checkbox which can be checked or unchecked by a mouseclick to visualize if a step in the process is done. This would work for one person that uses the process overview as well as for a team to see what has been done or still needs to be done. This would be just a visual feature and not effect the diagram itself. 

Thanks and best regards

In my case, I am trying to create a team dashboard with a task list on it.

Would be looking for the ability to do indented task list (possibly 3-4 levels) that can be individually be checked off, similar to the way this is implemented in google sheets.

Yes  - Check list is needed - similar to indented bulleted lists but with a box and a way to check the block if the task is complete.   Also have need to easily re-arrange the entries.   Possibly have features of cards but on a more simplistic level (plus the check mark option?   Or perhaps cards with columns instead of a form (with check mark option.)
