## Steps

### 1. Selecting assets

There are two ways to choose which assets will be included in a bulk operation:

- **Filtering:** Apply filters to narrow down the list of assets and select only the relevant ones.
- **Marking Checkboxes:** Individually select assets using the checkboxes next to each asset name.
