Multi-select lets you select several blocks at once, so you can move, lock, copy or delete them together instead of one at a time.
Selecting blocks
There are two ways to select more than one block:
- Shift + click: hold Shift and click each block you want to add. Shift + click a selected block to remove it.
- Selection box: click on an empty spot of the canvas and drag a box around the blocks you want.
What you can do with a selection
- Move: drag the group, or nudge it with the arrow keys
- Lock or unlock: lock everything at once so nothing gets bumped
- Copy and paste: within a section, between sections, or into another document
- Delete: remove every selected block in one go
- Layer: send the group backward or forward together
Made a mistake? Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Cmd+Z (Mac) undoes any group action in a single step.
Good to know
- Selection works within one section at a time
- Resizing several blocks at once isn't supported yet
- Signature blocks can only be selected on their own, and always sit on top of the canvas
- If you drop a group off the canvas, it snaps back to where it was
Common Questions
Do variables still work when I paste a group into another document?
Yes. Pasted variables use the data from the document you paste them into.
