# Dropdown menu: Checkboxes

> `<DropdownMenuCheckboxItem />` toggles a setting and keeps the menu open, so several can be changed in a row. The check draws in and out instead of popping.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/dropdown-menu/examples/checkboxes
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/dropdown-menu.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/dropdown-menu-checkboxes.json
```

This adds `components/examples/dropdown-menu/checkboxes.tsx` with the Dropdown menu component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
