Command click a screenshot in the NotchStar tray to pick it. Click again to unpick. Picked screenshots get a blue outline and a small check mark, and dragging any one of them carries every picked screenshot. A plain click, with no key held, opens the screenshot instead.

## Steps

1. Hold Command and click the first screenshot. It gets the outline and the check mark.
2. Command click each other one you want.
3. Drag any picked thumbnail to the chat, email or folder. All picked ones go together.

Shift click works the same way as Command click.

## Right click alternatives

Right click a thumbnail for the menu. It has Pick or Unpick for that screenshot. When there are two or more in the tray it also has Pick all.

## What the tooltip says

Hover over a thumbnail and the tooltip reads "Click to open. Drag to send. Option drag sends all. Command click picks several." When some are picked, it says how many will be sent.

## Good to know

- Picking does nothing to the files. It only marks which thumbnails go with the next drag.
- If a picked screenshot expires or is removed, it drops out of the pick.
- Dragging a thumbnail that is not picked sends only that one, even if others are picked.
- Picking does not open the notch.
