Rather, "Use as", which allows you to say that you want to use it. Then
you can say where to mount it, and check that "no, keep existing data"
is set (by default).

It can indeed look a bit odd to have to specify the filesystem type when
probing it is quite safe nowadays, and would permit to achieve the
actions above in a more intuitive way.

There'll be a summary on the screen right after that. Usually it'll just
be about formatting the swap partition.
