# Save Selection

Here you can save a selection permanently. So it will stay with you. You can save either a polygon, edge or point selection. You can restore these at any time by double-clicking on the small icons in the Object Manager:

Saved point selection

Saved edge selection

Saved polygon selection

If a selection tag already exists and is selected and the command is called by holding down the `Shift` key, it is overwritten.

You can find out how to assign separate material properties to saved polygon selections under [Selection](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TTEXTURE-ID_TAGPROPERTIES.html.md). Saved selections are also very important for deformation objects. You can find out more about this under [Deformation](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5460.html.md).
