The estimate canvas supports multi-select, so you can act on many line items at once instead of one row at a time.

## Select multiple line items

- **Shift+click** selects a range: click the first row, then Shift+click the last.
- **⌘-click** (Ctrl-click) toggles individual rows in and out of the selection.
- **Shift+↑ / Shift+↓** extends the selection by keyboard from the current row.
- **⌘A** (Ctrl+A) selects all line items in the estimate.

## Act on the selection

Right-click the selection to see what you can do with it:

- **Copy to clipboard**
- **Move N items to** a room
- **Copy N items to** a room
- **Delete N items**

Deleting asks you to confirm first. If you change your mind after any bulk action, ⌘Z (Ctrl+Z) brings it back. See [Undo and redo](/docs/estimates/undo-redo).

## Copy line items into a spreadsheet

This is the fastest way to get estimate data into Excel, Google Sheets, or an email.

1. Select the rows you want. ⌘A (Ctrl+A) grabs the whole estimate.
2. Press **⌘C** (Ctrl+C).
3. Paste into Excel, Google Sheets, or an email.

The rows paste as a clean table: descriptions, quantities, units, and prices land in their own columns, ready to sort, total, or share. No export step, no reformatting.
