# Selecting Areas for Extract Part
{% hint style="success" %}
[**What is Extract Part?**](/getting-started/extension-features/extract-part.md)
This feature lets you **extract data selectively by choosing only the areas you want**. Try it when you want to improve the structure and accuracy of your extracted data.
{% endhint %}
## How to Use
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Select individual areas
With Extract Part, you can select multiple data areas and extract them all at once.
As in the example below, click each part you need—product name, reviews, price, model number, and so on—and each selected area is added separately to the panel. Once you click the **\[Run Listly]** button, all the selected areas are extracted at the same time.
When you select and extract this way, the information from each individually selected area is extracted as shown below.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select repeating areas at once (auto-select repeating elements)
**You can automatically select repeating areas with a single click.**
As shown in the example below, click a specific element on the web page, then click an element that repeats the first one. Listly recognizes the similar areas and a popup appears. When it does, click the **Group All** button.
**Elements with the same hierarchy are recognized as a single area and recorded in the side panel, as shown below.** (The colors in the image have been varied to make it easier to follow.)
After selecting the areas you want with 'Select repeating areas at once', click the extract button to pull the data as shown below. You can also easily gather repeating images and brand names from within a single page.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Auto-select repeating elements (select by item box)
You can also auto-select repeating elements by item box. When you select the first box and then the second box in the sequence, you can select every item with the same structure at once.
**If you want to select by item this way,** when the popup appears after a similar pattern is detected between your two selected areas,\
check that **'Select by item'** is enabled, then click **'Group All.'**
As you can see in the image above, enabling this toggle expands the dotted selection box to the item level.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## 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://help.listly.io/getting-started/extension-features/selecting-areas-for-extract-part.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
