# Unselect Checkbox

This is a pre-built Action located under the captured checkbox element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to uncheck or clear the selection of a specified checkbox within the application and stores the result in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Make sure that the checkbox should already selected.
{% endhint %}

### **Example: Unselecting a Checkbox Element**

In this example, we explain how to use the **Unselect Checkbox** action to unselect a specific checkbox element within the application.

* **Action**: Unselect Checkbox
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * This action does not require any input value. It directly interacts with the targeted checkbox element to perform the unselecting operation.
* **Output Value**: {Status}
  * The result of the unselecting operation is stored in this **{Status}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the checkbox is unselected successfully.
    * **False**: If the checkbox is not unselected successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Unselect Checkbox** action identifies the targeted checkbox object and performs the uncheck operation during execution, ensuring that the checkbox is unchecked before proceeding to the next step. The result is store in the **{Status}** variable as true.
