A tick beside a sentence
For a checklist such as “Training completed”, place the tick in the space beside the words. You do not need to select the original sentence or change its font. Zoom in when a checkbox or table cell is small.
Use Cross and Dot the same way
Forms also includes Cross and Dot. Select the symbol you need, then click its position. These are visible marks added to the page. Adding a tick does not turn a printed checkbox into an interactive form field.
If the tick does not fit
Keep the mark inside the row or box. A very large symbol can exceed a short cell. Reduce its size or choose more space if Save reports that the cell is full. Read the error and correct the draft before trying Save again.
Common questions
Will clicking beside text edit the original words?
While Check mark, Cross or Dot is selected, page clicks place that symbol. Finish placing and choose Edit text when you want to edit a sentence.
Can I undo a misplaced tick?
Use Undo, or Command+Z on Mac and Ctrl+Z on Windows, to remove the most recent change. Review the page before saving and downloading.
Is adding a tick the same as checking a fillable field?
No. A symbol is a visible page addition. Existing interactive checkboxes have their own form controls. Use those controls if you need the field value to remain fillable.
