How to get Choices as an array?

Hi,
I want to create a loop that generates a menu from the choices in an label group.

In short I have some items in a custom post type where ACF lets me assign the items into collections. I want to make these collections into buttons/selection. (I know how to do this once I have the items in an array!).

I have done this with taxonomies for the cpt by simply using get_terms(tax_slug), but I would like to have the better interface of using ACF checkboxes.

So I have a field group. I have a label with checkboxes for choices and the option to add further choices enabled. I have tried the have_rows() but it does not seem to pick up on my field group name.

if( have_rows('field group name') ):
   
    while( have_rows('field group name') ): the_row();
  
    $fieldcollectionname = get_sub_field('choices'); //will be replaced by menu loop
    endwhile;
endif;

I have a feeling that the answer is right in front of my nose…
Pls help

Thank you in advance.
