Checkboxes are a useful tool in Google Slides presentations that can help you create interactive quizzes, surveys, and checklists. By adding checkboxes to your presentation, you can prompt your audience to take specific actions, provide feedback, or mark progress as you move through different points in your presentation.
Additionally, checkboxes can help you mark an item from the list that has been finished, such as a to-do list, shopping list, and more. In this article, I will guide you through the process of how to make checkboxes in Google Slides.

How to insert a checkbox character
The checkbox icon is not limited to a bulleted list. The icon or character can be used anywhere you see fit. Here’s how to insert a checkbox character anywhere in your presentation slide.
1. Place the cursor on the location where you want to insert the character.
2. Go to the Insert menu and then select Special characters.
3. Use the search feature to quickly find the available characters. The search term “check” works best for me.
4. Click the character and it will be inserted into the slide.
