  1. 01Selection affordance per row plus select-all — with a clear distinction between 'all on this page' and 'all matching the current filter'
  2. 02Persistent selection count — the number of selected items always visible while the action bar is open
  3. 03Contextual action bar — appearing only in selection mode, listing exactly the operations valid for the selected set
  4. 04Partial-validity handling — when an action applies to only some selected items, state how many will be affected and why the rest cannot
  5. 05Confirmation proportional to risk — destructive bulk actions state the exact count and require explicit confirmation
  6. 06Progress for long operations — a determinate indicator, and a per-item result summary when the batch finishes
  7. 07Undo for reversible bulk operations — offered immediately after completion, not buried in an activity log
  8. 08Clear selection — an obvious escape from selection mode that does not require deselecting each item
