Deselect vs. Unselect

In Veeam technical documentation, we use neither deselect nor unselect when it comes to canceling the selection of check boxes — we use clear instead.

Tip

When it comes to editing lists of selected elements, use neither deselect nor unselect as well. Try using modify, exclude or remove instead.

Examples

Deselect the Set unlimited quota check box if you want to limit the number of VMs and Veeam backup agents that reseller clients can store in the backup repository.

Clear the Set unlimited quota check box if you want to limit the number of VMs and Veeam backup agents that reseller clients can store in the backup repository.

If you unselect the Enable this alarm check box, the configured alarm settings will be saved, but the alarm will be disabled and will not raise any notifications.

If you clear the Enable this alarm check box, the configured alarm settings will be saved, but the alarm will be disabled and will not raise any notifications.

Use the Select All and Clear All buttons to the right of the Repository field to select/unselect the repositories.

Use the Select All and Clear All buttons to the right of the Repository field to modify the list of selected repositories.
