Hi @Box2105
Is the checkbox column checked manually by someone updating the row? If so, I would add another helper column next to it where you can set a Record a Date workflow. When the box is checked, Record the Date. (See Set the Current Date with Record a Date Action)
Then you can set up a Change Cell workflow based on that Date column to say that after 1 week, clear the checkbox.
Date-Based Trigger: (See Create a Time-Based Automated Workflow)
Condition & Change Cell: (See Change the Value of a Cell in an Automated Workflow)
Cheers!
