I know how to delete or archive a card individually. But doing that one at a time for dozens is so time-consuming!  Is there a shortcut?

@Lucy Higginbotham use the keyboard shortcut "c" when hovering over a card. then use your mouse and hover, press c, hover, press c, hover, press c... etc. It's game changing!!

@Brittany Joiner 

How are you?

Out of curiosity, can bulk action handle delete (vs archival)?

@Lucy Higginbotham 

As a developer, I recycle my boards a lot so I have a simple microservice build just to do that.
