# Smart Selection tab

The Smart Selection tab represents all rules that Gemini has learned automatically and those you’ve added manually.

Navigate between the following tabs that represent the corresponding rules:

Smart Selection Rules

While using Gemini 2, it analyzes the way you make choices and offers setting new rules when it determines your selection preferences. Every time you agree on adding a selection rule to Gemini, it gets saved here.

You can review these rules or reset them along with all manually added rules from Always Select and Never select tabs.

Adding new Smart Selection rules manually is impossible, but you can set Always and Never Select rules using the instructions below.

Always Select

To make Gemini automatically select all duplicate files from a particular location: Click Add (+) and navigate to the desired location.

Never Select

To avoid automatic selection of duplicate files from a particular location: Click Add (+) and navigate to the desired location.

General Smart Selection rules

To wipe Gemini’s memory and remove all custom selection rules: Click the Restore Default Selection Rules button. It will remove all entries from all of the selection rule tabs.

To allow Gemini 2 to select duplicates, represented by hard links: Select the corresponding checkbox so that Gemini treats hard links as ordinary files when auto-selecting.

Note: All files you see in Finder are actually shortcuts leading to data stored on the hard drive of your Mac. While most of the shortcuts give access to a unique piece of data, others, though being available in different locations, may lead to the same information, and thus weight merely nothing. They are called ‘hard links.’
You can create any number of hard links of a file and put them to any location on the disk without taking up extra space. Deleting of the file with hard links requires removal of all its hard links. If at least one hard link is kept, the file continues to exist in the system.
