Regarding the new selection/highlighting toggle in geoprocessing tools:

I'm wondering if the first sentence in the tooltip is misleading.

Use the selection or filter.

I think it's meant to tell us that enabling the toggle will honour highlighting, if it exists, and if not then it will honour the selection.

But when I first read it, I thought it meant we can choose to either use the selection (toggle enabled) —or— the filter (toggle disabled). But that's not the case; disabling the toggle means the filter (definition query, range filter, and time filter) will be ignored, selecting ALL records.

Should that wording be improved?

I know the rest of the paragraph adds clarity. But I thought it was worth mentioning that I found the first sentence misleading.
