Methods of multiselecting

(written description under construction)

Multiselect menu

(written description under construction)There are two methods of selecting multiple assets:

• by clicking and dragging the mouse pointer across assets, marking a rectangle area,
• by clicking the greyed out checkmark on top of the asset.

The checkmarks are normally hidden and will only become visible when the user hovers mouse pointer over an asset. Once multiselect mode is activated - which happens once at least once asset is selected - all the grey checkmarks become visible until selection is cleared.

The user can select assets from multiple locations, for example from different pages and folders. The selection pool remains intact with the possibility of adding more assets, until the user either clicks on the neutral area or clears the selection.

The multiselect menu is draggable, i.e. the user can add all the selected assets to a collection by dragging the menu on top of the collections's name in the left-side menu panel.
