How to select multiple nodes with mouse - left click and drag

Hi all, Sorry for the very basic question.

I am using cytoscape 3.8. I couldn't select multiple nodes with mouse. Holding left-click and dragging moves all nodes. I searched for answers. In github answer it was mentioned, 'You must enable the property boxSelectionEnabled when creating cytoscape. Now that I have installed already I don't know how to change it. I tried edit -> preferences -> properties. But I couldn't find boxSelectionEnabled. Kindly let me know how to enable it. Thank you!

Did you try selecting the nodes by holding "Ctrl" key?
