God forbid you upload a batch of pdfs twice… you’ll be clicking for ages to delete dulicates. Please add a check box system and a delete all option to clean out a Pickaxe and restart. ---

Also - god forbid at any point you click on the explore somethnig (which the bin randomly turns into) by accident because clicking delete is so boring you will lose all your changes and have to start over. ---

I understand the first feature request-- batch delete. Can you clarify this second situation about the explore button? I’m not sure I follow. ---

Sorry - missed your reply\_ yes just text boxes to check to mass delete items. Workflow is i usually clone a tool (so i can matain the Persona as a control) and then update Knowledge bank - but that results in mass duplicate items so it’s rough to go through and sort them. Would prefer to delete all and start over. ---

By Explore I mean - there is a thing where if you are uploading - then want to get rid of somehting and you try to click the bin icon but miss it by a few pixels it goes into the Explore Chunk Breakdown mode. So you click back and it takes you out of the Edit mode and you lose all your uploads. I sorta resolve by periodically maunally Publishing but i still do it every now and again and lose 20mins of work.
