# Selection Mode

By default, the selection mode of the Kendo UI for Angular Rating is set to `continuous`.

The `continuous` selection mode of the Rating highlights all icons up to and including the selected value.

To change the default selection behavior of the Rating, set its [`selection`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/ratingcomponent#selection) property to `single`. By enabling the `single` selection mode, you can allow the user to select only one icon without highlighting the preceding ones.

The following example demonstrates the available selection modes of the Rating.
