*These question types are also available with* [*Hints + Feedback (see tutorial)*](/english/course-components/common-problem-types/hints-and-feedback.md)*.*&#x20;

### Checkboxes

Checkboxes are a multiple choice question with more than one correct answer. To create a checkbox question, write each possible answer on a separate line using square brackets before each option (`[ ]`). \
`[x]` indicates a correct answer\
`[ ]` indicates an incorrect answer

{% hint style="info" %}
You can add as many or as little `'[x]`*`answers`*' as you want!&#x20;
{% endhint %}
