Description

Checkbox

Multiple selection switch

A switch that allows multiple selection of settings

Radio Button

Radio button

A radio button that allows selecting only one option for a given setting

Usage principles

Checkbox (multiple selection)

  • Allows enabling/disabling multiple options simultaneously

  • Each switch operates independently

  • Used for settings that can be active at the same time

Radio Button (single selection)

  • Allows selecting only one option from a group

  • When a new option is selected, the previous one is automatically deselected

  • Used for mutually exclusive options

Note

The choice of switch type depends on the setting logic: if options can work simultaneously, a checkbox is used; if only one of several options is needed, a radio button is used.
