Support

Operating system

Android

Joplin version

3.4.12

What issue do you have?

I have just downloaded J for Android to replace OneNote and since it does not come with a manual, I want to replicate something I did in ON and dk how.

In ON I can make a list, put a white square in front of each list member and when I need to mark that item for some reason I just put a V in it. When I want to unmark it, I remove the V.

Also, I tried to create a bullet list but when I click on the bullet option at the bottom nothing happens to the txt.

Thanx.

Sounds like you are looking for a checkbox rather than a list. Joplin is primarily a markdown based app so the markdown for a checkbox is

- [ ] Fill thermos with tea
- [ ] Fill cooler with ice 
- [ ] Anything else?  

That's dash space open-bracket space close-bracket space sometext

Stick an x between the brackets for it to be checked

- [ ] Fill thermos with tea
- [x] Fill cooler with ice 
- [ ] Anything else?

When it’s rendered you get

Thanx.

SoI understand correctly: if I enter those three it will render them so that I can insert the X?

When rendered (like the picture) all you need do is click the box. It will put the check in and when you look at the markdown it will have the x. Or in the markdown you can put the x and when rendered you will have the check.
