If you use Trello to manage projects, you may encounter a high volume of tasks. Enhancing your workflow can be achieved by selecting and manipulating multiple cards simultaneously. However, this feature may not be immediately apparent. Fortunately, with the help of a basic browser extension, this capability becomes accessible to us.
Introducing Trello Multiselect
Trello Multiselect is a browser extension that enables you to select multiple cards on a board at once. Once installed, you can select multiple cards by holding down the ‘Shift’ key and clicking on the cards you want to manipulate.
Installing Trello Multiselect
The extension is available for both Google Chrome and Firefox. Follow the steps below to install it:
Google Chrome
- Visit the Trello Multiselect page on the Chrome Web Store.
- Click the ‘Add to Chrome’ button.
- In the dialog that pops up, click ‘Add extension’.
Firefox
- Visit the Trello Multiselect page on the Firefox Add-ons site.
- Click the ‘Add to Firefox’ button.
- In the dialog that pops up, click ‘Add’.
Using Trello Multiselect
Once you’ve installed the extension, using it is simple. Navigate to a Trello board and hold down your ‘Shift’ key. While holding ‘Shift’, click on any cards you want to select. You’ll see a checkmark appear in the top right of each selected card.
When you have your cards selected, release the ‘Shift’ key. You can now perform actions on the selected cards. Right-click on any of the selected cards to see the available actions.
Conclusion
While Trello doesn’t support multi-card selection out of the box, the Trello Multiselect extension is a great workaround. It’s easy to install and use, making it a valuable tool for anyone who regularly works with Trello.
