Selecting Multiple Items

In many of the desktop tools, you can select multiple items and then select an action to perform on all 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 the first item you want to select.
2. Hold the Ctrl key and then click the next item you want to select. Repeat this step until you have selected all the items you want.

1. To select contiguous items, select the first item, hold the Shift key, and then select the last item.

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