Do not use the checkboxes component if users can only choose one option from a selection. In this case, use the [Radios component](/components/radios/).

Do not use the checkboxes component to let users choose only one option from a selection. Users think checkboxes are used to select multiple options from a list and could struggle if they are only able to select one checkbox from a selection. In this case, use [Radios components](/components/radios/) instead of checkboxes.

Do not use the checkboxes component to let users toggle a single option on or off. Users could miss a checkbox to toggle a single option on or off and end up not selecting something they might have wanted to select. In this case, use 2 [Radios components](/components/radios/) instead of a single checkbox to make users choose the option they want to select.
