What does this button do in the "Split Pages" window? The lines are selected by dragging the same way whether the button is pressed or not.

Hi Jensen Head,

The button is used to group-select splitting lines:

Kind regards,

Hi Jensen Head,

At your current zoom setting (44.65%), this option makes no practical difference.

Try increasing the zoom level of your page view.
When the Select option is disabled, the viewer switches to the standard hand scrolling mode.
However, if you need to group-select splitting lines while working at a high zoom level, then it’s better to enable this option.

Kind regards,
Misha
