# Select options from a dropdown

> Use **Select** for native `<select>` elements; use **Click** for custom menus.

<Tip>
  Inspect the element first to confirm whether it's a native `<select>` or a
  custom menu (e.g. Headless UI, Radix, shadcn). The approach differs.
</Tip>

## Native `<select>`

1. Add a **Select** step and describe the element (e.g. "The country select").
2. Click **Find with AI** to populate the options list.
3. Choose an option by **label**, **value**, or **index**.

## Custom dropdowns

For React/Vue component libraries (Headless UI, Radix, Material UI, shadcn,
etc.), use two **Click** steps:

1. **Click** on the dropdown trigger (e.g. "The country dropdown").
2. **Click** on the desired option (e.g. "USA inside the country dropdown").
