Bulk Actions
Bulk actions let someone choose many items and run one action on the whole chosen set.
Another example
An admin selects three members, deactivates the two allowed accounts, and gets a clear reason for the one failure.
Main parts
- 01Selection count
- 02Selection scope
- 03Eligible actions
- 04Confirmation
- 05Progress and result
- 06Failed-item recovery
Use it when
Use it when people often repeat the same safe action on several items.
Do not use it when
Do not hide what is selected or treat a partial failure as full success. Ask before a hard-to-undo action.

Before release, check the page structure, keyboard access, visible focus, contrast, and zoom. Also check loading, empty, error, success, cancel, and reduced-motion states.
Outcome: Use Bulk Actions to solve this user need without losing the current context. User context: An admin selects three members, deactivates the two allowed accounts, and gets a clear reason for the one failure. Recommended pattern: Bulk Actions. Why it fits: Use it when people often repeat the same safe action on several items. Do not use it when: Do not hide what is selected or treat a partial failure as full success. Ask before a hard-to-undo action. Product requirements: Define the default, loading, empty, error, success, and recovery states. Keep user input. Give clear feedback after every action. Accessibility and resilience: Use semantic HTML, full keyboard access, and visible focus. Make the layout work when zoomed and support reduced motion. Follow the project’s current rules. Do not add a new UI library unless the project already uses it. Acceptance criteria: The main task works with keyboard only and at 320px width. Focus and status changes are announced. Check loading, failure, retry, cancel, and reduced-motion paths. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): No single official standard controls the whole term. Its meaning may change across teams, platforms, or frameworks. Unknowns to confirm: Product wording, data source, analytics events, supported devices and languages, and platform limits.

Review the current use of Bulk Actions. Definition: Bulk actions let someone choose many items and run one action on the whole chosen set. Release checks: Before release, check the page structure, keyboard access, visible focus, contrast, and zoom. Also check loading, empty, error, success, cancel, and reduced-motion states. Before changing code, report the evidence you found, gaps, severity, and the smallest safe fix.
