Multi-selection doesn't work anymore ever since the "Multi-Edit" update was released

I’m trying to select multiple difference objects within a frame. Previously I could hold shift and click on the different elements I wanted to select. Ever since this multi-edit feature came out, I’m no longer able to do that.

Does anyone know how I can get my “multi-select” back?

If i’m not mistaken, they’ve removed it and combined it with the multi-select feature. Normally, I’m using that because I have my layers interconnected so I don’t really need the multi-select feature that much.

So, I guess I have to adapt again to the update 😅

I can still select multiple items by holding shift, its pretty essential. What I’m missing is the ‘Target’ selection that was available in components with variants, underneath the selection like the + to add variant. It was very useful as it was a normal selection, which could be manipulated - so if I wanted to unselect a few I could. Now that is kind of impossible

I love this feature, but I also absolutely need a way to disable it or revert back to the usual select! This feature has awesome use cases that I’m already utilizing, but also it’s broken a LOT of my workflow especially with aligning/distributing objects across different groups. A button somewhere to just, select items as usual would make this feature perfect for me!

I add my voice in this too, I’m losing a lot of productivity as I don’t have the target selection in component instances. The new multi edit selection don’t let me unselect items, so in the end I have to go manually selecting the items I need to change.

Hey All, thanks for the feedback!

This was indeed changed with the launch of multi-edit, but we’ve passed this thread along to our team to fix and make the experience more frictionless.

I was going to create a thread about an issue I’m having but I’ll post here first. I’m having issues selecting multiple items to edit. I can do everything just fine in the playground but in my personal files, I always get a “No matching layers to select on page” message. Even if I DUPLICATE a component or layer I still get the message. What parameters need to be met in order for the multi-edit to work?

Same here. I’m so confused about which items I can and cannot use multi-edit on. Any time I select one of many layers with the same name and try to cmd+opt A, it says “No matching layers to select on page”. This is just flat-out not even working in my opinion.

Attached a screenshot. Is there any reason I should not expect to be able to use cmd+opt A on these Photo Card layers??

If i copy interaction and want to paste it i cant select same layers and paste interaction to them, i can only at first select layer than click multiedit button, and than make interaction, from all selected layers to another layer. but what if i already created interaction, and than want to paste to all selected by multiediting button layers? i cant do this, i need to select one layer by one and paste
