1. You have an object, a shape, a background which is selected and on which the dotted lines appear as below and you want to remove the selection.
2. Go to the “Selection” tab and then search for “Deselect”.
You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts:
On Mac > CMD + D
On PC > CTRL+D
So at any time you can deselect your item without going through the menu options.
3. Click on Deselect and the dotted lines will disappear: your element will no longer be selected
4. During your creation, you clipped or recovered clipped elements and you wish to recover the selection (have dotted lines) to make modifications.
Go to the layers window.
Hold the Cmd (on Mac) or Ctrl (on PC) key and click on the thumbnail of the element whose selection you want to recover.
Warning: you must click on the thumbnail and not on the name of the layer.
5. After clicking, the item becomes selected and you can make the changes you want.
And now you also know how to deselect it.
