# Element Marking One by One

Even though this method is more manual – because you have to select every element one by one in the desired order – it is also the most accurate one.

To use **Element Mark One by One**:

1. Save the SortMark configuration with preferred Settings. (No need to click 'OK'; the window can simply be closed):

   <figure><img src="/files/NMXV7lWHJw709xxdoNoL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
2. After that, run the **Element Mark One by One** command and select the first element of your order. In the following window, you can select the SortMark configuration. Click **Mark Elements** and continue selecting additional elements one by one in your desired sequence.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>You can only mark elements of one category (category of the first selected element) at one time.</p></div>

3. To finish the marking, hit the **Esc** button on your keyboard. The marked elements will show up in the table, where you can edit the values manually.

   The **Close** button concludes the command and writes the marking values to selected elements.

   To continue marking, click the **Mark Elements**.

   To restart the marking from scratch, you can use **Reset Counter**.
