Most actions such as setting properties, cutting, copying, moving, and resizing can be applied to a selection of multiple page elements.
Some functions, like Align Lefts, require at least two elements to be selected.

​
To Select Multiple Page Elements Using a Selection Area

All page elements included in the selection area will be selected, depending on your selection settings.
