# Keywords

Advanced Dissolve is not just a one shader effect, it is a collection of various multiple effects that can be turned on/off any time, mixed together or used separately. Each of those effects is controlled using its own individual shader keyword.

All Advanced Dissolve keywords in material editor have <img src="https://371873058-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDmmEjlCGzGOqRX7UsP6L%2Fuploads%2FGtf8VC93PEuXZ2ZWVxJz%2Fblue.png?alt=media&#x26;token=4ac4a14b-c273-4ae6-8086-7623a08575db" alt="" data-size="line"> background:
