# Selection Sets

This tool allows you to save selection sets. It is generally used to quickly select parts of a character's controls, like the fingers, facial controls, etc.

In TheKeyMachine, the selection sets can be within groups. The selection sets groups can be hidden or revealed.

By default, all selection sets are created in a group called 'main', which is a generic group intended for sets that are not related to each other.

If you are creating selection sets for a character, let's say "Peter," you could create a group for that character named "Peter" where you would save all the selection sets related to that character. If you have multiple characters, you could hide or show the sets that you are working with.

The selection sets tool is still in the development phase but can import and export groups and sets, rename sets and groups, change the color of the sets, move them between groups, and a few other things.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thekeymachine.gitbook.io/base/the-toolbar/selection-sets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
