Holding a card or tapping the select icon starts the mode. The bar suggests the likely next step.

Holding one card can also open a short menu for that record.

Rules

  • A count bar replaces the list header: close, "N selected", select all.
  • The suggested action follows what is selected (all damaged → Discard); other actions sit under it as outline buttons.
  • Leaving the mode clears the selection.
  • Actions that change many records show an Undo toast.
