FAQ

Can I still type content into a cell after it is set as a checkbox?

  1. Checkbox cells are mainly used for checked and unchecked status tracking.
  2. A cell that has been set as a checkbox does not support regular text entry in the same way.
  3. If a cell already contains content, move the content or adjust the target range before applying the checkbox setup.

How can I insert checkboxes in batches?

  2. Then drag to fill the checkbox into other cells.
  3. If you want the whole column to use checkboxes, set that column to the checkbox column type directly.

How do I delete a checkbox?
