# Batch Management

Slate allows for the manipulation of one or more objects at a time using **Batch Management**.

## Using batch management

Batch management works differently depending on where you are in Slate:

- Use `ctrl/cmd + click` to select objects in a supported functional area.
- You can also use the selection controls in the **Universal Batch Management** menu. These controls let you select objects without a keyboard shortcut.

🗺️ For a detailed breakdown, see [Where you can access batch management](/v1/docs/batch-managing-resources#where-you-can-access-batch-management) in this article.

#### Accessing Universal Batch Management

- Use Universal Batch Management to select or deselect all objects in a list with a single click.
- Click and drag while in Batch Mode to select a range.

To access Universal Batch Management:

1. In a supported functional area (see [availability table](/v1/docs/batch-managing-resources#where-you-can-access-batch-management)), select the **gear icon** at the top of the list of objects. A menu appears.
