What can I use instead of a checkbox?
If you want your users to select multiple options, use checkboxes. If you want your users to select only one option, use radio buttons (or another alternative).
Why toggle tokens are a better alternative to checkboxes?
Toggle tokens conserve screen space, so you have room for more content, and users don't have to scroll. Checkboxes require vertical stacking, but toggle tokens allow for both vertical and horizontal stacking. This creates a compact arrangement that looks less intimidating to users.
What are radio buttons and checkboxes?
Checkboxes and radio buttons are elements for making selections. Checkboxes allow the user to choose items from a fixed number of alternatives, while radio buttons allow the user to choose exactly one item from a list of several predefined alternatives.
