What can I use this block for?
The Mass Action block is the most convenient way to bulk-select content on the Moodle page in order to delete it or move it to a separate section. The sections are determined by how the page is organized - for example, in the case of the tiles format, the sections are the separate tiles of the page, for collapsed topics it would be individual collapsed topics, etc.
