So first of all, let's just create a new file here. We'll call this something like before each. You'll see why I'm calling it this in just a minute. Then what we're going to do is we're just going to go into our selecting.cy.js file. I'm just going to copy the code that's inside there and paste it and we'll just adjust the indentation, real quick here. All right, there we go. So let's say that we made this test a little bit easier to read and maintain by splitting this single it block up into multiple blocks. You'll see what I mean by this in just a second.
