<div class="warning-message"> Deprecated placements </div>name: resource_selection <span title="this placement is deprecated!">⚠️</span>
This is a placement that once was the default for 1.1 tools, and was one of the very first placements for Canvas. It makes the tool show up both in - assignment_selection and link_selection (new module item), but is deprecated now.
For 1.3 tools using this placement we highly recommend to use assignment_selection or link_selection instead! You can read about those in details here and here.
