Selecting flow elements

Note: You can select multiple flow elements as required. However, a connection and other flow elements cannot be combined in one selection.

To select flow elements

  1. To select one flow element at a time, click the flow element in the canvas. In the canvas, you can see which element is selected:
    • Selected flow elements are surrounded by a gray rectangle.
    • Selected connections have a darker color.
  2. To select multiple flow elements at the same time, do one of the following:
    • Drag a selection rectangle around the flow elements in the canvas.
    • Click a first flow element, and then expand the selection by clicking other flow elements, while holding down the Ctrl key (on Windows) or Command key (on Mac OS).
