FAQ:​

• Can I create interactive checklists in XenForo posts?
  Yes. Add a checklist through the editor and publish it as [CHECKLIST] BB code inside a supported message.
• Can checklist items be changed after a message is published?
  Yes. Members with the toggle permission can mark tasks complete or incomplete through AJAX without reloading the page.
• Can published checklists be read-only?
  Yes. Disable AJAX toggling in the add-on options. Checklists remain visible while their item controls become read-only.
• Can a checklist show completion progress?
  Yes. Enable Show progress in the checklist editor or use [CHECKLIST=progress] to display a completion counter.
• ↳ Can I create nested checklists or subtasks?
  Yes. Checklist blocks can be nested, with administrators controlling the maximum nesting depth.
• What does the stored BB code look like?
  Items use standard [ ] Task and [x] Task lines inside a [CHECKLIST] block. No internal item IDs are stored.
• What happens when content containing a checklist is copied or merged?
  The checklist is stored directly in the message, so it follows supported XenForo content copy and merge operations.
• What happens when content containing a checklist is deleted?
  No separate checklist data needs to be managed because its state is stored as part of the message itself.
• What will happen when XenForo 2.4 and the new TipTap editor are released? We do not yet know when XF 2.4 will be released and how their final APIs will work, or whether checklist support will be included out of the box. If XenForo includes native checklists, we will evaluate the built-in implementation and provide the most appropriate compatibility or migration path. If it does not, we will adapt this add-on to the new editor and parser once their final implementation is available.
