Using the multi-selection feature can help you operate on several objects at the same time (e.g., move them, copy, or set common properties.) There are two ways how to use it:

Object-level selection on the diagram

• Use the "Multi-Select" icon on the top bar and click on the desired objects.

• Click on individual objects while holding the Ctrl (⌘/command on Mac) key

After a multi-select, you will see bulk properties, where you can set schema and color for all the objects at the same time.

Object-level selection on the explorer menu

Users can multi-select objects from the database and diagram explorer by holding the Ctrl (⌘/command on Mac) key while clicking on multiple objects.

Bulk actions, such as coloring, schema selection, and others are available from the right-hand properties panel.

The context menu for multi-selected objects allows users to perform bulk actions like bringing to diagram or deleting multiple objects.

Note that selections made on the diagram or explorer menu will persist and work across all of these.

Column-level selection

The same behavior applies to multi-selecting columns within a table.

Click on multiple columns while holding the Ctrl (⌘/command on Mac) key to select them individually.
