# Selecting Elements

## Edition selection tool

The Edition extension's selection tool is used to select map elements in order to perform edition operations (geometric operations, duplication, etc.) or to move elements.

{% hint style="info" %}
Although JMap's other selection tools can also be used in most cases, only the Edition selection tool allows you to move editable elements that are selected. 
{% endhint %}

Editable elements that are selected have black grab points on the nodes.

To move an element:

1. Enable the tool by clicking on ![](/files/NSkhQPTQcvYnLFaGB2jH).
2. Select the element.
3. Drag and drop it to the desired location.
