There is a new Excel feature on the insert tab of the ribbon that allows users to put a Check Box on spreadsheets without programming. When will that be included in my updates?

thank you

    To begin with, join the Insider program. You might have it right away or wait a short while. I got it about a week after it was announced in the Insider channel.

    Thank you for the helpful discussion re checkboxes. I don't have them, and I don't even have a cell controls group.

    Please tell me when I can expect them to appear in my Excel ribbon. Do I have to do anything?

    Thank you so much.
