# Inputs >> Checkbox Group >> Overview ||10
A checkbox group enhances the functionality of the native `<input type="checkbox">` element.
Its purpose is to provide a way for users to check **multiple** options amongst a set of choices, or to function as a single toggle.
> You should use our `checkbox` elements as children in checkbox group.
```js script
import { html } from '@lion/core';
import '@lion/checkbox-group/define';
```
```js story
export const main = () => html`
<lion-checkbox-group name="scientists[]" label="Favorite scientists">
<lion-checkbox label="Archimedes" .choiceValue=${'Archimedes'}></lion-checkbox>
<lion-checkbox label="Francis Bacon" .choiceValue=${'Francis Bacon'}></lion-checkbox>
<lion-checkbox label="Marie Curie" .choiceValue=${'Marie Curie'}></lion-checkbox>
</lion-checkbox-group>
`;
```
> Make sure that the checkbox-group also has a name attribute, this is necessary for our [form](../form/overview.md)'s serialization result.
## Features
Since it extends from our [fieldset](../fieldset/overview.md),
it has all the features a fieldset has.
## Installation
```bash
npm i --save @lion/checkbox-group
```
```js
import '@lion/checkbox-group/define';
```
