+## Minion selection
+Pages that show a simple list of minions allow individual minions to be selected.
+Use panel button [✔] to show an extra column with checkboxes in the table.
+Minions can be selected one-by-one or you can use select-all, select-none by clicking on the column header.

+The list of selected minions will be used in the command-box and for commands from a panel-menu.
+When the column is hidden, the selection-values are just ignored.
