Multi-select is a feature that allows you to select and apply actions to episodes in bulk. It’s very useful for managing your podcast episodes.
Here are places in the app where you can use multi-select:
- A podcast’s page
- A playlist
- Profile > Downloads
- Profile > Files
- Profile > Starred
- Profile > Listening History
- Bookmarks tabs
- Up Next queue
You can activate multi-select by long-pressing on an episode. Long-pressing on the same episode again will bring up options to “Select all above” or “Select all below.” However, in the Up Next queue, the long-pressing will on an episode will move it to the top of the list and start playback. See “Multi-Select in the Up Next Queue” for information about using this feature in Up Next.
Once you’re done selecting episodes, you can apply the following actions:
- Download/Remove download
- Archive/Unarchive
- Mark as played/Mark as unplayed
- Play next
- Play last
- Star/Unstar
- Share (only if one episode is selected)
- Delete (only available in Profile > Files)
In the Up Next queue, tap Select at the top right of the screen to activate multi-select. Tap Select All to select all episodes in the Up Next queue. To select an individual episode tap the episode title. An episode is selected when there is a check-mark icon next to the listing.
After selecting an episode in your queue, long-pressing on it will bring up options to “Select all above” or “Select all below.” You can also click the three-dot icon to see more actions which include:
- Move to top
- Move to bottom
- Remove
- Download
- Mark as played
- Archive
- Share (only if one episode is selected)
While in multi-select mode, you can customize the toolbar with your two most used actions. To view more actions, and customize the order of actions in the menu, tap the three-dot menu 
icon. With multi-select active tap the three dot menu in the multi-select toolbar > select Edit and hold the ≡ handle to drag and drop the actions to your preferred location > tap Done to save the changes.
No, it is not possible to use multi-select to move multiple episodes at one time to a Playlist. You can move individual episodes to a manual Playlist by following these steps:
To add an episode to a Playlist: When viewing the list of episodes in Up Next, swipe left on an episode and tap the plus button 
(green background) , you can then select which Playlist you’d like to add the episode to or create a new Playlist. Tap Done to confirm the change. Tap View to see the episode listed in the Playlist.
