### Permissions: 'Fillable by' & Editing Rights
Clause Selector will be visible and accessible to parties if:
- The editing rights granted on the document, via **Share**
- The editing rights granted on Clause Selector field, via **Fillable by**
- The party's identity in Concord: Internal (colleague) or External (third party)
- Granting a party [Full Editing Rights to your document](https://support.concordnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/205160205-Editing-user-rights-after-sharing?hsLang=en) will grant access to view and edit all Clause Selector fields on your document.

- If the party has been granted the **proper permissions**, Clause Selector fields will be displayed on a document over a **purple background**, set to the first default clause (see below).
*Note: While the **Title** is displayed, it is not inserted into the document.*
Parties granted **insufficient permissions** will only see the default Clause, and it will appear as normal document text.

After creation, clause Selector will always display the Default Clause in your document. To choose an Alternative Clause:
- Navigate to the Clause Selector field
- Click **USE ALTERNATIVE**
- Click on your desired Alternative Clause **title**
