With items selected, two additional buttons are available under the name of the list:

• Move
• Delete

Use the Move button to move the selected list items into a section. Sections are useful for breaking up large lists into smaller chunks that may be easier to manage. If the section name you choose already exists, the selected list items will be moved to that section. If the section name you choose does not exist, the section will be created, and the selected items will be moved to that section.

Use the Deleted button to remove all of the selected items.

If you decide you do not want to move or delete any items, tap Select to reset the selection.
