Bulk operations let you select multiple memories and perform actions on all of them at once, making it easy to organize large memory collections.

## How Bulk Operations Work

### Entering Selection Mode

1. **Go to your Dashboard** - Navigate to the Memories tab
2. **Click "Select Multiple"** - Click this button to enter selection mode
3. **Select memories** - Checkboxes now appear - click them to select memories
4. **Choose action** - Use the bulk actions toolbar that appears

### Available Operations

Once you've selected memories, you can:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Move to Bucket" icon="folder">
    Transfer selected memories to a different bucket
  </Card>

  <Card title="Delete Multiple" icon="trash">
    Permanently delete all selected memories
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Managing Selection

* **Select memories**: Click checkboxes after entering selection mode
* **Add/remove**: Click checkboxes to toggle selection
* **Range selection**: Hold Shift and click to select a range of memories between your last selection and the current click
* **Cancel**: Click "Cancel Selection" to exit selection mode

## Using Bulk Operations

### Moving Memories

1. Click "Select Multiple" → select memories → click "Move to..." → choose bucket
2. Memories move immediately to the selected bucket

### Deleting Memories

1. Click "Select Multiple" → select memories → click "Delete"
2. Confirm in the dialog - **deletion is permanent**

<Warning>
  Bulk deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Double-check your selection before confirming.
</Warning>

## Tips

* **Search first** to narrow results before selecting
* **Work in batches** rather than selecting hundreds at once
* **Switch buckets** to avoid selecting from wrong bucket
* **Double-check** before deleting - it's permanent

## Current Limitations

Bulk operations do **not** currently support:

* Select all functionality
* Bulk editing of memory text
