Selecting Multiple Items

In many of the desktop tools, you can select multiple items and then select an action to perform on all of the selected items. Select multiple items using the standard practices for your platform.

For example, if your platform is Windows, do the following to select multiple items:

1. Click on the first item you want to select.
2. Hold the Ctrl key and then click on the next item you want to select. Repeat this step until you've selected all the items you want.

If you hold the Shift key instead of the Ctrl key while clicking on an item, you'll select all the items between and including that item and the last item you clicked on.

Now you can perform an action, such as delete, on the selected items.
