+Chooser Selector
+================
+
+When pushing to try, there are a very large amount of builds and tests to choose from. Often too
+many to remember, making it easy to forget a set of tasks which should otherwise have been run.
+
+This selector allows you to select tasks from a web interface that lists all the possible build and
+test tasks and allows you to select them from a list. It is similar in concept to the old `try
+syntax chooser`_ page, except that the values are dynamically generated using the :ref:`taskgraph<TaskCluster Task-Graph Generation>` as an
+input. This ensures that it will never be out of date.
+
+To use:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ mach try chooser
+
+This will spin up a local web server (using Flask) which serves the chooser app. After making your
+selection, simply press ``Push`` and the rest will be handled from there. No need to copy/paste any
+syntax strings or the like.
+
+You can run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ $ mach try chooser --full
+
+To generate the interface using the full :ref:`taskgraph<TaskCluster Task-Graph Generation>` instead. This will include tasks that don't run
+on mozilla-central.
