Description

These two components seem to be the same or similar. Is there a reason we need to have both, or can we consolidate them? This ticket is just to do research on these components, and we'll need to create action items based on what we learn. Ideally we would just have one Input (Checkbox) component, unless there is a compelling reason to keep Toggle.
