Ability to add more than 50 highlights to canvas at a time

Through the new canvas experience, the picker only allows for a maximum of 50 objects to be added at a time, which can make it hard if you want to add all highlights related to one tag.

We've pushed a change here that will now allow you to add 1,000 objects at a time to your canvas! This is still the upper limit for objects displayed in any note view at one time, so you'll still need to create a new canvas if you have more than 1,000 notes, highlights, or insights 😊

We're currently testing some solutions for this, we'll post another update shortly! 😊

This is a very aggravating feature. The reason why new insights don't automatically populate to the canvas is not clear to me. Overall this change has slowed down my work, created a lot of repetitive clicking, and caused frustration.

Same here. It took me time to understand why I can't see all my highlights even though I "selected all"

Merged in a post:
I want to be able to sort my canvas by tag without selecting all. This would need to be in conjuction with more than 50 hightlights at a time. I have a huge project with 38 interviews and need to sort by tag. If I can't do this in Dovetail, I have to do this manually and then what is the point?

Thank you for looking at this. The existing limitation makes it very difficult to use Dovetail for synthesis of tags, which is a huge part of using Dovetail in my workflow.

I completely agree, I didn't even realize that it doesn't add all of them, as I clicked on 'Select all' - I assumed it would actually be 'all' :-)
Edit: After trying a few times I realized that once you filter, you can scroll down and click on 'Load more' to see more, then keep clicking on it until there is no more to show, then 'Select all', then 'Add to canvas'. This is still not ideal, but at least it is possible

This has become less useable - I want to add all the highlights!
