Bulk actions

The last button in a column’s toolbar (an empty square with the tooltip Enter selection mode) switches the whole board into selection mode. Every card grows a checkbox and dragging is disabled while it lasts.

  • Click a card to select or deselect it.
  • Shift-click to take everything between it and the last card you clicked. The range follows what you see: cards inside folders first, then the column’s loose cards.
  • The square at the top of a column selects, or deselects, all of that column’s cards. It fills in when they are all selected, and the count appears beside it.
  • Ctrl/⌘ + A selects every card on the board.

Selections survive across columns, so you can gather cards from three columns before acting on them.

Once something is selected, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen.

The board in selection mode: three cards ticked in one column, and the floating bar reading 3 selected, Move, Tag, Archive, Delete

Button What it does
Move Pick a column; everything selected goes there
Tag Pick a tag; it is added to everything selected. Only shown if you have tags
Archive Everything selected goes to the archive
Delete Everything selected is destroyed
✕ Leave selection mode

Esc also leaves selection mode.

Move lists every column, including the one the cards are already in. Picking that one does nothing, and TabOasis tells you so.
