Checkbox for Confluence

The Checkbox for Confluence app provides a lightweight, interactive checkbox macro that allows users to track tasks and action items directly in view mode.

While editing your Confluence page, you can add the checkbox in two ways:

• Slash Command: Type /checkbox directly on the page and select the app from the list.

• Macro Browser: Click the + icon in the editor toolbar, select View more, and search for "Checkbox".

A dedicated dialog will appear. Enter the following details:

• Label: The main text for your checkbox (e.g., "Approve Design").

• Description: A helper message that appears below the checkbox to provide extra context.

• Define Your Options: List the specific items or sub-tasks that users will interact with.

Open

• Editor View: In the editor, you will see the list of items you've added within the macro frame.

• Live View: Click Publish. The macro will transform into an interactive checkbox.

Open

• Direct Interaction: Users can check or uncheck boxes while viewing the page—no need to enter "Edit" mode to update a task's status.

• Persistent State: The checkbox remembers its state, making it perfect for shared team checklists and onboarding flows.

• Inherited Permissions: This app does not require separate permission management. It strictly respects the existing Confluence page permissions; if a user can view the page, they can view and interact with the checkbox.

• Data Privacy: The app is self-contained and does not store or transmit data to external services.
