I cannot seem to select and copy multiple bullets (or an item an all its visible sub-items) in the Android app. Would I would like to to be able to select and copy multiple items in a list at once (or select all and copy), an be able to paste this text into another app (like email for instance). There appears to be no way on Android. This basic function is easy in Windows desktop, but I can't fathom why it is unavailable in mobile. 

The only things I can seem to do on mobile is duplicate this list, which just keeps all the content within Workflowy.  Respectfully, this basic functionality (which i can do in a browser) should be implemented (please).  Thanks for listening.

  Hi James!

  We don't have multi-select yet. 

  You can swipe any list left > 3-dot icon and you'll see the options menu. You can then try and export and copy an outline from one of the export options.

  Thanks Frank. This is a helpful workaround and gets me what I need. Had forgotten how export does this in mobile. Feels like Export could be renamed Export/Copy to flag it, but that's a separate issue and maybe overkill.

  I appreciate the tip.
