## Selection Tag Functions

### Tag Name

### Auto Set Selection

If active, all selections made will be added to the Selection tag defined in the tag Name field. This can also be done manually by deactivating this option and using the buttons below.

### Set Selection

Saves the current selection to the Selection tag defined in the tag Name field. If no name exists, one will be created automatically.

### Add Selection

The currently made selection will be added (additively) to the Selection tag defined in the tag Name field. The previous selection will not be overwritten.
