Hello there. I'm Hailey Temple. Shortcuts are an awesome way to quickly add or edit your work. I'll show you where to find shortcuts and a few of my favorites. I'm in a mural and to go to the shortcuts menu. I'll click this question mark button for help in this help menu that appears I'll click shortcuts and a toolbar will pop up on the right side. 

Mural has lots of shortcuts that you can explore, but let's just focus on the general shortcuts. It's important to note that since I am on, an apple device MURAL is showing me apple specific keyboard shortcuts. If you're on a different device, the mural will guide you so a few favorites to duplicate elements. I can select that element and then press command D to add lots of them at once. I can select Command Z to undo anything that I did not want there. If I want to select multiple elements on the mural, I'll hold shift and then click and drag to select everything I want. 

Then I can group everything together with command G. These elements are all moving together Command Z to undo now, one of my favorites is to select a locked element. So let's say that I lock these elements down. Now. If I want to select that locked element, I hold shift to command and click it, and now I can unlock it. You can also do this with multiple elements. So, if I shift and lock all of these down, what I can do is hold shift command and select all of these locked elements and unlock them all at once. 

These are just a few of my favorite commands that I used to work quickly in MURAL. Try some out yourself. Happy collaborating.
