## Multiple Choice


![Multiple Choice component in the HIPAAtizer form builder showing checkbox options](https://www.hipaatizer.com/docs/form-builder/components/multiple-choice/multiple.png)

The Multiple Choice component allows users to select one or more options from a predefined list. It is commonly used for collecting selections where multiple answers may apply.

---

## How It Works

The Multiple Choice component displays a group of selectable options as checkboxes.
Users can select any number of options unless restricted by validation rules.

You can configure the component's label, available options, required state, layout, and display behavior to match your form requirements.
