Create Checklists in Docs

You can now create functioning checklists in Google Docs

To create a checklist:

• 
  Type out the items in the checklist, with one item per line.
• Select all the lines of items.
• Click the Checklist icon in the top toolbar. (Alternately you can click Format > Bullets and numbering > Checklists)
• This will place a checkbox at the start of each line in the list.

To use the checklist, just click in a box. A checkmark will appear and the text next to the checkbox will be crossed out. 

If you don't want the text next to the checkbox to be crossed out, there is a workaround for that.

• Create a table.
• Put the checkbox in the first column and put the text for the checkbox in the next column.
• When the checkbox is checked, the text will not be crossed out.
