Editing Checklist (section)

===Format===
[[File:Closing a business checklist.svg|thumb|Example checklist]]
Checklists are often presented as lists with small [[checkbox]]es down the left hand side of the page. A small tick or [[checkmark]] is drawn in the box after the item has been completed. If practicable a check should not be split over two pages.{{cn|date=March 2023}}

Other formats are also sometimes used. Aviation checklists generally consist of a system and an action divided by a dashed line, and lack a checkbox as they are often read aloud and are usually intended to be reused.{{cn|date=March 2023}}

Some checklists must be signed off and kept as evidence, others may be re-usable. This may affect the format and materials.<ref name="Courtnell 2019" />
