# Selecting annotations

This mode displayes and enables selecting of annotations on a page. When activated each annotation is displayed as a rectangle (shows activation rectangle for each of annotations). It's very useful because user can see all the annotations on a page and does not need to search for (annotations can be hidden). Only very few viewers support this feature.

An annotations is selected when the mouse cursor is over. It is selected until the mouse cursor get over another annotation or till Esc key is not pressed.
