+Active Modifier
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A modifier in the stack can be selected to mark in as :term:`Active`,
+the active modifier displays an outline around the modifier's interface.
+To set an active modifier, select an area of the modifier's interface background,
+the modifier's icon, or, select a modifier in the :doc:`/editors/outliner/index`.
+
+The active modifier is used by the :doc:`/editors/geometry_node`
+to determine which node group is being modified.
