Default Draw a selection box over a shape


Hello everyone. I have many small shapes on top of a big shape, and I need to select groups of these small shapes to move them around. I'd like to be able to draw the 'selection box' (that box you create when holding down the left mouse button on an empty part of a slide) while being over the big shape. Is it possible somehow? Making the big shape 'unselectable' would work too I guess, if there is a way. Thank you!

Not really but you can use the selection pane to do this.

Open the pane from HOME tab > Editing > Select > Selection pane

Drag to select ALL the shapes
Hold down CTRL and deselect the unwanted name in the selection pane leaving the others selected.
