Use this helpful browser tip! Adjust your zoom in your browser by using a keyboard shortcut to adjust how many assets you can see at once. Use ⌘+ to zoom in and ⌘- to zoom out.

Add a tag to hundreds of assets at once or move an entire set of photos from one board to another by using bulk actions. Air's multi-select functionality is designed to give you and your team the ability to seamlessly take bulk actions on boards, assets, and files in your workspace.

Single select

In table view, select any item (board, asset, or file) by clicking once on the row for the item (not the item name). Clicking on the row will change the row color to a light blue color and pop up a black action bar at the bottom of your browser window.

In gallery or kanban view, select any item (board, asset, or file) by clicking once on the image. Clicking on the image will reveal a blue border and pop up a black action bar at the bottom of your browser window.

Once your item is selected, right click on the item, select the edit menu (three dots) in the top right corner of the item thumbnail, or use the action bar to:
