A script can only access the selection of the user who is running the script, and only if the script is bound to the presentation.

This sets the parent Page of the PageElement as the current page selection .

Authorization

Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes :

select(replace)

Selects the PageElement in the active presentation.

A script can only access the selection of the user who is running the script, and only if the script is bound to the presentation.

Pass true to this method to select only the PageElement and remove any previous selection. This also sets the parent Page of the PageElement as the current page selection .

Pass false to select multiple PageElement objects. The PageElement objects must be in the same Page .

The following conditions must be met while selecting a page element using a false parameter:

  1. The parent Page of the PageElement object must be the current page selection .
  2. There should not be multiple Page objects selected.

To make sure that’s the case the preferred approach is to select the parent Page first using Page.selectAsCurrentPage() and then select the page elements in that page.
