Horse supports multi-selection for bulk actions. Use it when a project is genuinely finished, not when you are experiencing an exciting two-second burst of administrative courage.
Close a selection
- Use ⌘-click to add or remove individual Trails from the selection.
- Use Shift-click to select a range.
- Open the menu on one of the selected Trails.
- Choose the action to delete the selected Trails.
- Confirm the exact count shown by Horse.
Closing a selected parent also removes its descendants. Move anything you want to keep before confirming.
The confirmation count is worth reading. A collapsed Trail can contain more pages than it appears to, which is the whole point of collapsing it and also the precise moment to avoid swagger.
Close one whole branch
Collapse a parent Trail and use its close control. Horse asks for confirmation before removing the branch.
If the deletion was a mistake, use Undo Delete Trail or ⌘+⇧+T. The undelete guide has the recovery steps.
Keep one page and close the rest
Move the page you want to keep outside the selected branch first. Then collapse and close the branch. Horse follows the visible hierarchy, so arranging the keepers before deletion is clearer than trying to remember which deeply nested page contained the invoice, recipe, or breakthrough sentence.
