# Making Layer Features Selectable

To use certain functions such as interactive selection, you must first make the layer's features selectable.

1. Hover over the layer card to display the selection icon <img src="/files/gp081qmrI0wuAFA2e0DN" alt="" data-size="line">.
2. Click <img src="/files/gp081qmrI0wuAFA2e0DN" alt="" data-size="line"> to make the features selectable. The icon <img src="/files/K2Yx6OmzTDn3HTzBYxJe" alt="" data-size="line"> is permanently displayed on the card.
3. Click <img src="/files/K2Yx6OmzTDn3HTzBYxJe" alt="" data-size="line"> again to make the features non-selectable. The icon disappears.
