I see that I can add a task with a checkbox but I just want the checkbox. As soon as I delete the text next to it the checkbox disappears when I click publish!
1. Try manually typing in [] and then hit space.
2. If you are creating the page from a template, the following code populates a checkbox:
<ac:task-list><ac:task><ac:task-id>2</ac:task-id><ac:task-status>incomplete</ac:task-status></ac:task></ac:task-list>
I am trying to create checkboxes but do not want them to be tasks. Any ideas?

Hey there! Confirming this: our new Confluence Cloud editor supports markdown, where typing [ and ] followed by a space at the beginning of a line creates a checkbox.
You can get to a list of the markdown shortcuts in-app at https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/keyboard-shortcuts-markdown-and-autocomplete if you’d like.

I want a checkbox that doesn't save a version of the page every time i check it?

:black_square_button: shows the check box. But, what's the point. We want to create a checklist for the user to mark when going through a process......... so, it is for show, not for use.
seems the action item one is for dynamic use

Did you ever find a solution for this? (checkbox to allow users to check as they follow a process) If so, how does it work in terms of whether the user can somehow save their progress and come back later to pick up where they left off & being able to see what was already checked?

I use a Status element with a grey background with text
* X for checked
* _ for unchecked

Heyya!
I clicked on the 'Action Item' button on top of the page and it worked! This applies to those who are looking to let anybody tick the box as they work on the pages.

we want an html checkbox... not an action item that saves a new revision of the page every time someone clicks it!

"[" + "]" + "<space>"
This is however editable within ViewMode as well.

@Suren Raj Hi. Do you have any other solutions besides the outdated one that was linked? above
The goal is to insert a checkbox that is not for assigning tasks and is not editable in the View mode.
Thanks.
