A Checkboxes question lets respondents select multiple answers from a list of choices. Use this question when you want people to be able to choose more than one answer option in the same question.
Tip! If you want respondents to only a single answer, use the Multiple Choice question type instead.
People taking the survey will click the checkbox next to each answer choice that applies to them.
When you create a Checkboxes question you can limit or require a certain number of choices. If you use this option, we recommend updating the error message so people know how to answer the question.
