# How to use the Buttons Choice element
> Allow users to select predefined options with single or multiple-choice configurations and dynamic item lists in your chatbot agent.
The **Buttons Choice** User Input element allows you to present predefined options to your users. This element supports both single-choice and multiple-choice inputs and can dynamically display options based on variables.
## Key Features
### Single Choice
* Users can select one option from a list.
* Each choice can be linked to a specific path in your flow for direct branching.
* Use the **Default** path to handle cases where no specific path is linked to the selected option.
### Multiple Choice
* Allows users to select multiple options at once.
* The selections can be saved in a variable for further processing or conditional responses.
### Dynamic Items
* Dynamically populate the list of options using a variable.
* This feature is useful for displaying lists sourced from external data, such as Google Sheets or APIs.
* Ensure the variable contains a list of values before using it in the element.
### Adding an "Other" Button
* Include an "Other" button to let users provide an answer that isn’t listed in the predefined options.
* Connect the "Other" button to a [Text](/editor/elements/user-inputs/text) Input element to collect custom input.
