Can't get Range Mask to turn on

I just installed the latest Lightroom Classic CC version 7.0.  I have followed the instructions to use the new Range Mask tools.  I created a mask using the graduated filter and selected the Brush option.  Range Mask is grayed out and clicking on it has not effect. So, I am not able to use it at all.  I tried updating my video driver, but that had no effect.  I am using Windows 10 with an Nvidia Quadro M4000 video card.  Anyone have any idea why I can't access the Range Mask?

    Correct answer Rob_Cullen

    and selected the Brush option

    Are you selecting the Brush that is within the Gradient Adjustment Panel?  (And NOT the Local Adjustment Brush)

    With the Gradient Filter drawn, simply select the Range Mask  "Color" or "Luminance" options below the adjustment panel and work the sliders.

    And the Gradient Brush continues to work for me. (Hold [Alt] to brush erase the gradient.)

      Updating the process took care of this and the Dehaze problem.  Before updating the process, I could not select "Color" or "Luminance" because the Range mask was grayed out.  Now it is selectable.
