Bulk actions
Multi-select for cards, what a selection means per finish, and selecting several folders, binders, lists, decks or views.
Getting into multi-select
In the app — press and hold any card, in a binder, a list, Owned Cards or a view, in any layout: compact grid, grid or list. Inside a binder or list, in a grid layout, the ⋯ menu also has Select cards.
On the web — Select cards in the collection's More menu, or Select in a single card's own menu, under Copy name, which turns the mode on with that card already picked.
Select all and Deselect all sit in the bar on both. They select everything the current search and filters are showing, not the whole collection, so filter first and then select all.
A selection is per finish
A card you hold as two normals and one foil shows as two tiles, and each tile selects on its own. Select the foil tile and Move, Add or Delete act on the foil copy only. Select both tiles and the whole card goes. Select all follows the same rule, so a copy your filters are hiding is never swept along.
Two places draw a card once whatever its finishes — the app's compact grid and a tracker slot — and there one tap selects every finish of it.
Tags and For Trade belong to the card in that collection, not to a finish. Apply one with only the foil tile selected and it lands on the card, foil and normal alike. Both clients say so when it happens.
What the bar offers
| Action | In the app | On the web |
|---|---|---|
| Tag — add tags to the selection | ✓ | ✓ |
| Move — send the copies to another collection | ✓ | ✓ |
| Add — copy the selection into another collection, leaving the originals | ✓ | ✓ |
| Delete — to Recently deleted | ✓ | ✓ |
| Bulk — the batch editor | ✓ | — |
| Edit — with one card selected, the full edit screen | ✓ | — |
Move and Add open the destination picker. The toast after a move or an add counts copies: Moved 3 cards to Trade Binder.
One card, no selection — on the web, the ⋯ menu of a card in your own binder, list or deck has Move to under Add to. In a binder or list it opens the destination picker and moves every copy of that tile's finish. In a deck it opens the bar's Move sheet: Main, Sideboard or Considering under Within this deck, or Move to another deck or binder…. A commander has no Move to.
Send to tray is not a button on this bar. In the app it is a row of the destination sheet that Move and Add open. On the web the Tray button appears on someone else's binder or list, not on your own. See The Tray.
The batch editor
The batch editor is where quantity, finish and condition change at scale: set quantities to a number or adjust them ±N, turn the selected copies into another finish, move them to a condition (copies merge into the matching bucket), or flag For Trade. A live summary shows exactly what will change before you confirm.
It edits the finishes you selected: with the foil tile picked, a new quantity is the foil count and the normals are untouched.
Select exactly one card and that slot becomes Edit, the single-card edit screen without leaving the grid. Both are app-only.
On a lens
Owned Cards, For Trade, Wants and saved views are lenses over many collections, so a selection there can only be added somewhere. The app's saved views can also send a selection to the tray. Move, Tag and Delete need one real container to act on.
The copies that travel are those of the finishes you selected.
Selecting several folders, binders, lists, decks or views
In the app, the same selection works one level up, on what your hubs list:
- Press and hold a folder, a binder, a list, a deck or a view, in its hub or inside a folder, and tap Select in its menu (Select binders, Select decks, Select folders…). It starts selected.
- Tap the others. A selected row wears the same wash and check as a selected card.
- The header becomes the selection header: how many are selected, Select all (everything the screen lists; inside a folder with a search, the rows the search shows) and, under it, Move and Delete. The ✕ leaves the selection; so does leaving the screen.
- Folders and what sits next to them can be selected together.
- Move opens the folder picker once for all of it. A folder is only offered where every selected folder fits; No folder takes everything out.
- Delete asks once, with the count: Delete 3 decks and 1 folder? Binders, lists and decks go to Recently deleted with their cards. What a deleted folder holds moves up one level. Views are deleted for good, as when you delete one.
- In Collection a selection belongs to the tab it started in: binders and lists are never mixed, and switching tab ends it.
- The built-in For Trade and Wants views cannot be selected.
