For checkbox labels, use the List component in Figma.
Writing guidelines
Do not truncate checkbox labels. Can wrap (to two lines max) but avoid if possible.
- When possible, use labels that describe the action or result of selecting the checkbox: “Search for text when you start typing”.”
- Use the same terms to describe the selection in the label and any supporting copy.
- Use the imperative voice.
- Maintain parallel construction for lists of related checkbox labels: “Use autoscrolling” and “Use smooth scrolling”.
- Use terminal punctuation..
- Use first person.
