# Selecting multiple objects

In the previous sections, you learned about the basics of Appmixer. Now, it's the right time to present some of the core visual features of the Appmixer Studio.

One of the key features is selecting multiple objects. Building a visual flow often means putting a very complex business logic on a piece of "digital paper". This logic has to be functional but also organised and well documented. When moving components and adjusting the visual feel of your flows, the ability to select multiple objects can be a huge time saver.

The way you select multiple objects is pretty straightforward. Hold ⇧ Shift and click on the desired components.

Alternatively, you can select multiple objects by holding ⇧ Shift and choosing the objects in bulk.

Now, you can start moving the selected components to add more space to your flow or reorganise the flow in any way you desire.

As simple as it may seem, this feature saves you a good amount of time when building complex flows. [Next, we'll show you how to copy & paste objects to boost your performance even more](/kb/appmixer-studio-features/visual-features/copying-objects.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.appmixer.com/kb/appmixer-studio-features/visual-features/selecting-multiple-objects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
