Add Select All Button to Matches List

What problem does Add Select All Button to Matches List solve?

Ancestry’s DNA matches list has no built-in way to tick every match on the page at once. If you want to bulk-assign a group or custom label, you have to click every checkbox one at a time. Add Select All Button to Matches List adds a single button above the match list that ticks them all for you.

How does Add Select All Button to Matches List work?

A Select All button is added above your AncestryDNA match list. Clicking it ticks the checkbox on every match on the current page, and the button changes to Deselect All so you can untick the page the same way. From there you can open the group panel and apply a colour group or custom label to the whole page in one step.

  • Open your AncestryDNA match list.
  • Click Select All above the match list to tick every match on the current page.
  • Open the group assignment panel and apply the groups you want. Click Deselect All to clear the selection.
