Hey,  
I’m a beginner at Thunkable and I want to create a custom list where you can check or uncheck certain items. I figured out how to add custom items, but I’m not sure how to add the checkmarks near each one. Any help? I’m using the drag & drop interface.

Welcome to Thunkable!

How are you displaying the list? Are you using a Data Viewer List (DVL) or some other method?

With a DVL, you can create a custom layout and add a [checkbox component](https://docs.thunkable.com/checkbox) to each row of the DVL.

this is a little more advanced it uses a DVL(data viewer list) instead of a regular list.
