Bulk edit to-dos

Release notes

You can now efficiently manage your to-do list with our improved bulk editing feature. Select multiple to-dos and mark them as done or snooze them in one go, giving you more control over your tasks and helping you stay organized with less effort.

Problem to solve

• Users can end up with a large backlog of to-dos to review. This problem will persist as we transition the to-do list into a notification list.
• The current "mark all as read" control is too course – it's all or nothing.

Proposal

In preparation for remaking the to-do list into a notification list, allow users to bulk edit the following properties for to-dos:

• Mark as done/un-done
• Snooze/move to main to-do list (if present; will be added as part of Snooze notifications (#17712 - closed))

Requirements

• Remove the existing "Mark all as done" button
• Add a checkbox to all to-do rows
• Add "Select all" row
  • Toggling the checkbox here should select / clear all of the to-dos in the list
  • When a subset of to-dos in the list are selected, the checkbox should be in an indeterminate state
• When one or more to-dos are selected, show a new row containing:
  • The count of to-dos selected
  • A list of available bulk actions. See table below.
  • Actions must be contextual to the tab. See table below.
• Update the to-do counts when a bulk action is performed:
  • Super sidebar top section
  • "To-Do List" badge on "My work"
  • Counts in tabs on To-Do page

Tab	Action label	Behavior
To-do	Snooze	Snoozes all selected to-dos as described in #17712 (closed)
To-do	Mark as done	Marks all selected to-dos as "Done"
Snoozed	Move back to To-Do List	Clears the "Snoozed" attribute on the selected to-dos, returning them to the main list
Snoozed	Mark as done	Clears the "Snoozed" attribute on the selected to-dos and marks them as "Done"
Done	Re-add these to-do items	Marks the selected todos as "Pending", returning them to the main list

Designs

Following the bulk editing pattern on the vulnerability report, introducing bulk actions on the existing to-do list would look as follows:

Bulk action checkboxes	Example with an additional button	Selection row, with actions	Tooltip	Snoozed tab (if present)	Done tab
