# Edge Selection Tag

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Edge Selection tag** in **Cinema 4D**. It permanently stores an edge selection on a polygon object so materials, deformers or tools can be restricted to exactly these edges; a special variant also stores UV seam selections.

To access commands for a Selection Tag, select the tag in the **Object Manager**. The commands appear in the **Attribute Manager**.

Double-clicking on the tag will switch to the respective element mode and will select the saved element.

> **Tip:** **Seam Selection Tag**
>
> A special version of this tag type is also used to store *Seams Selections* for UV editing. The *Seams Selection Tag* is created automatically when selecting edges as seams with the [Seam Selection Tool](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TOOLSEAMSELECTION.html.md).
