Hi Corissa thank you for posting in the community!

Based on your description I believe the template you are using uses a conditional formatting rule to create those circles which is why you are not able to select them. You can disable this rule by opening the conditional formatting panel and selecting “Unapply” from the options (see screenshot). You can learn more about conditional formatting in the Conditional Formatting Help Center article.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the help Eric! That was exactly it and worked perfectly!
