Introduction#

useMultipleSelectionState manages selection state for many components. Oftentimes, you won't need to use this hook directly, since it's included in hooks like useListState, and useSelectState. These expose a SelectionManager, which provides a higher level way to manipulate selection state.

API#

useMultipleSelectionState( (props: MultipleSelectionStateProps )): MultipleSelectionState
