I want a checkable object. I see one in the Basics in Lucidspark course canvas that I am working on. See it highlighted below. Please tell me how to recreate this checkbox object. The pencil icon controls the default from unchecked to checked.

Hi @BrianWard, thank you for posting in the community! It looks like this specific check box shape is a custom shape likely created for the template. While slightly different, you can find checkable check box shapes by switching your editor over to Lucidchart via Universal Canvas and searching for the check box shape. It is under the UI Input shape library. You can also see an example in this video: Lucidchart - Check boxes - YouTube

I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

how do I get just one checkbox instead of 3 as the object requires?

Hi @pennyck, thank you for continuing this thread! You can adjust the number of options using the contextual panel.

To this, simply select the checkbox shape and this should open up a panel on the right of the editor. From there, adjust the number of options under ‘Advanced Options’, this should allow you to change the number of checkboxes to one. I’ve also added a GIF below demonstrating this.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this.
