| <p>Switches allow the user to select options. There are three kinds of switches: checkboxes, radio |
| buttons, and on/off switches.</p> |
| <h2 id="checkboxes">Checkboxes</h2> |
| |
| <p>Checkboxes allow the user to select multiple options from a set. Avoid using a single checkbox to |
| turn an option off or on. Instead, use an on/off switch.</p> |

| <h2 id="radio-buttons">Radio Buttons</h2> |
| |
| <p>Radio buttons allow the user to select one option from a set. Use radio buttons for exclusive |
| selection if you think that the user needs to see all available options side-by-side. Otherwise, |
| consider a spinner, which uses less space.</p> |

| <h2 id="switches">On/off Switches</h2> |
| |
| <p>On/off switches toggle the state of a single settings option.</p> |
