Learn how to select multiple cells in the planner and apply a shift (either **work** or **absence**) in bulk. 🗓️✨

---

### 1) Select individual cells 🖱️

### 2) Select all the days in a column 📅

- **Click the day of the month** (in the column header).
- **All cells** in that column will be selected for all employees (⬇️).

### 3) Select an entire employee row 👤➡️

- **Click on the right side of the employee's name**.
- **All cells** in that row for that employee will be selected (⬅️➡️).

🧩 **Tip**: You can **combine** the three selection methods to build exactly the set of cells you need.

### 4) Schedule one shift for the whole selection 🎯

1. Find the shift you want to schedule (a **work** shift 💼 or an **absence** 🌴).
2. **Drag the shift** and **drop it onto any of the selected cells** (drag & drop 🖱️).
3. The shift will be **automatically scheduled in all selected cells** ✅.
