# Use SAM 3 in Smart Select

<figure><img src="/files/PbMHFFveBwJtELVS2bnO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can now use SAM 3 in Smart Select (Smart Polygon) to identify objects based on points in an image. To use this feature, click on the cursor icon in the left side of the Roboflow Annotate interface. This will enable a tool that lets you click anywhere on an image and calculate a segmentation mask that corresponds with the object you have clicked. This feature is powered by SAM 3.

You can extend an annotation by adding more points outside the highlighted region, or refine an anotation by clicking inside at the edges where you want to refine your annotation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roboflow.com/changelog/explore-by-month/november-2025/use-sam-3-in-smart-select.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
