The checkbox component allows users to select one or more options from a set. They're like little digital checkboxes you see when you want to choose multiple options simultaneously, such as selecting items in a to-do list or filtering search results. These components play a pivotal role in enhancing user experience by providing a clear and intuitive way for users to select various options. They offer visual feedback, showing users what's currently selected and what's not, which is crucial for clarity and ease of use within an app.

There are two types of property blocks: dark green "set" and light green "get" blocks. The specific blocks available vary according to the UI component.
The dark green set blocks allow you to change the component's properties using blocks. For example, if you don't want a group component to be enabled for a user until they've typed a set number of characters into a text input component, you can use the group's dark green set group's disabled status block.
The light green get blocks allow you to access the properties of a component (e.g. color, font, width, text, etc.).
