Selecting and de-selecting
==========================
.. contents:: Table of Contents

Apart from selecting documents by hand by clicking on the checkbox next to a document, it's also possible to select and deselect multiple documents at once. 
Just above the search results there's a button with an option to 'Set Selection'.

This comes in handy, especially when using the workflow to move multiple documents at once, or for tagging multiple documents at the same time.
Once you click 'Set Selection' there are three options:

* Select documents on this page
* Select all query results
* Deselect all

Select documents on this page
-----------------------------
This option selects all the documents that are shown on the page at that point in time. 
The icons of the selected documents will turn green and the checkboxes will be checked.
See example below.

.. note::
    If you select the documents on a page, it will only select on that specific page.
    If you decide to go to the next page, *the selection will be undone*. 

To have a quick overview of which documents are selected there's also a small overview of the selected documents.
See image example below.

Select all query results
------------------------
This option selects **all** the documents results from an executed query.
The icons of the selected documents will turn orange and the checkboxes will be checked.
See example below.

Deselect all
------------------------
The deselect all option will deselect all documents previously selected. 
The icons will turn back to their normal color and the checkboxes will be unchecked.
