Use with the verbs select and deselect, as in Select the checkbox to enable the option.
Don’t list the following UI element
types unless needed for clarity or navigation: button, checkbox, drop-down
button, field, icon, menu, link, radio button, or window. For example,
write Click Save, not Click the Save button.
In documentation, the text label for a checkbox displays in a
monospace font. For example: To send an email to the user, select Generate new password and notify user immediately.
Because a checkbox is a field, follow the guidelines for Field Names.
For checkbox settings on setup pages (which tend to be lengthy), use sentence
capitalization.
