Use the multi-select feature to select multiple items and avoid repetitive actions. Learn about the aspects you need to take into consideration when using multi-select, which actions you can perform and how to use it.
Aspects to take into consideration
- The multi-select tick box is only activated after you checked a box to the left of an item.
- It is only possible to select folder and/or items in the same level, so if you selected item 1.1, you can select 1.2 and 1.3, but you cannot select folder 1, or 2.1, 3.1, etc.
Multi-select actions
These are the actions you may perform on an item at the same time.

- Cut and paste multiple items to a different location or data collection
- Copy and paste multiple items
- Download multiple files
- Delete multiple items
- Drag and drop multiple items to a different location within a data collection
