# Selection Lists
This chapter lists the workflows and how the files of the SelectionList function are handled in a Collaboration (BIM360 / **A**utodesk **C**onstruction **C**loud) environment.
Configurations Files of the SelectionList function
These are the files used by the SelectionList function
1. **SelectionListSettings.Collection.xml** The \[PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantExpressTools\SelectionLists\SelectionListSettings.Collection.xml holds a list of available SelectionList Configuration files in the project.
2. \***.slcf files** The \[PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantExpressTools\SelectionLists\*.slcf files are the configuration files of the SelectionList function in your project.
3. **Related Files** The related files are drawing files which can contain a block or the drawing is the block itself. 
4. **Files in Project Manager** 
Opening/Downloading an existing Collaboration project
This is handled if the project doesn't exist in the work folder yet and everything needs to be downloaded from scratch.
1. SelectionListSettings.Collection.xml => DOWNLOADED
2. \*.slcf files => DOWNLOADED
3. Related files => DOWNLOADED
Sharing an existing project (which is already setup for Calculation) to ACC
When sharing a project with SelectionList Configuration files the following files are handled:

1. \*.slcf file => CHECKED IN
Importing SelectionList Configuration
If you import a SelectionList Configuration the following files are handled:
This is how you do this:
1. \*.slcf => Copied to the project => CHECKED IN
Edit a SelectionList Configuration without using Wizard
Sometimes it is more convenient to adapt the configuration directly in the \*.slcf file without using the Wizard.
This is how you do this:
1. Open your collaboration project in AutoCAD Plant 3D
2. Open the SelectionList function Main Dialog
3. Select the configuration you want to modify
4. Click on the **Edit** button to open the Wizard This checks out the \*.slcf file.
5. Click on **Cancel** to close the Wizard The \*.slcf file will still be checked out. Do not close the Main Dialog yet.
6. Open the \*.slcf file under \[PROJECTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantExpressTools\SelectionLists in a text editor
7. Make your modifications in the file and save and close it
8. Click on **Refresh** in the Main Dialog This will read the \*.slcf file again so you see if there are any error in the file.
9. Close the Main Dialog This checks in the \*.slcf file.
