Follow these steps to manage multiple picklist values.

1. Navigate to the custom field definition page for the picklist field.
2. In the Values and Inactive Values sections, there’s a checkbox next to each picklist value. Select multiple values, and use one of the new buttons: **Delete Selected**, **Deactivate Selected**, **Replace Selected**, or **Activate Selected**.

This feature is available only for custom picklists with predefined values.
