About This Feature

Overview

Checkbox is a control feature in WPS Presentation that lets you insert selectable checkbox objects on slides for multiple-choice items, status marking, and interactive content display.

Core tasks include:

Insert a checkbox: add a checkbox from Developer Tools and draw it on the slide.
Set checkbox properties: adjust Caption, Value, and Name to control display text, default state, and control naming.

This feature fits classroom voting slides, training sign-in pages, questionnaire demos, and interactive mockups. It helps make options more visual in a presentation and supports clearer control management on a slide.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you insert a checkbox from Developer Tools → Control Toolbox in WPS Presentation and set properties such as Caption, Value, and Name.	Microsoft Word provides content controls on the Developer tab, where users can add controls and change their properties for documents and forms.	Google Docs product pages highlight collaborative documents, smart chips, templates, and eSignature workflows, but do not describe slide-style checkbox control property editing.	Notion supports a Checkbox property in databases to indicate whether a condition is true or false for lightweight tracking.	Adobe Acrobat supports checkbox form fields in PDF forms and provides field property settings for form components.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places checkbox controls directly on presentation slides, which fits slide-based form layouts and interactive option display.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft official guidance here focuses on Word document content controls rather than checkbox controls placed on presentation slides.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs official pages focus on collaborative document editing and building blocks instead of slide control insertion and property editing.	Compared with WPS: Notion checkboxes are mainly database properties for tracking states, not visual controls drawn on presentation pages.	Compared with WPS: Adobe checkbox support is centered on PDF form fields rather than slide layout editing in a presentation workspace.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Checkbox is a practical fit when you need checkbox controls directly inside presentation slides. Other products also support checkbox-related workflows, but their official pages focus more on document controls, database properties, or PDF form fields than slide-based control placement.
