+### Split toggle with checkbox
+
+To combine a checkbox or other control with a dropdown menu, use a split button.
+
+A `<MenuToggle>` can be rendered as a split button via `splitButtonItems`. Elements to be displayed before the dropdown toggle button (like the `<MenuToggleCheckbox>`) must be included in the `splitButtonItems`.
+
+If the dropdown menu closes upon selection, you will need to manually shift focus back to the toggle element after a user selects an item from the menu.
