2. Right-click to bring up the context menu.
3. Choose 'Convert > Selected elements to text'.

All the elements from the selection (checkboxes, dropdowns, multi-select dropdowns, and buttons) will be converted to text. In situations where lines did not have pre-selected content, Dilato will automatically uncheck these lines to preserve the original 'unselected' state.

Converting text to buttons

For converting multiple lines of text into buttons.

3. Choose 'Convert > Selected text to buttons'. (Alternatively, you can press the button icon in the toolbar).

Each line's content will be transformed into a button. Commas within the text will serve as separators and create a button with multiple choices.
