10## Overview
11
12The tidyselect package is the backend of functions like `dplyr::select()`
13or `dplyr::pull()` as well as several tidyr verbs. It allows you to
14create selecting verbs that are consistent with other tidyverse packages.

16* To learn about the selection syntax as a user of dplyr or tidyr, read
17  the user-friendly [Selection language](https://tidyselect.r-lib.org/reference/language.html) reference.
