Mastering multi-select in Elementor allows you to efficiently manage and edit multiple elements, sections, or columns simultaneously within the Elementor editor. This feature streamlines your workflow, especially when making global design changes or adjustments across your web pages. Here’s how you can effectively utilize multi-select in Elementor:

How to Use Multi-Select in Elementor

  1. Access Elementor Editor:
    • Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the page or template you want to edit with Elementor.
    • Click on the Edit with Elementor button to open the Elementor editor.
  2. Activate Multi-Select Mode:
    • To activate multi-select mode, hold down the Ctrl key (Cmd key on Mac) on your keyboard.
    • Click on individual elements, sections, or columns within the editor canvas to select them. Each selected item will be highlighted with a blue outline.
  3. Selecting Multiple Items:
    • While holding down Ctrl (or Cmd), click on additional elements, sections, or columns to add them to your selection.
    • Alternatively, click and drag your mouse to create a selection box around multiple elements to select them in bulk.
  4. Perform Actions:
    • Once you have multiple items selected, you can perform various actions simultaneously:
      • Edit Content: Make changes to the content within all selected elements, such as updating text, images, or links.
      • Style Changes: Apply styles, such as typography, colors, margins, or padding, across all selected elements.
      • Duplicate: Create duplicates of all selected elements to replicate layouts or sections.
      • Delete: Remove all selected elements from your layout.
      • Copy/Paste: Copy content from one section to another or duplicate content across different pages.
      • Save as Template: Save multiple selected elements as a reusable template for future use.
  5. Exit Multi-Select Mode:
    • To exit multi-select mode, simply release the Ctrl (or Cmd) key on your keyboard. The selected items will remain highlighted until you deselect them individually or perform an action.

Benefits of Using Multi-Select

  • Review Changes: After making bulk edits, preview your changes across various devices to ensure they display correctly.

Example Use Cases
