Multi-List Selection Feature

The feature that lets you add a titles to multiple custom lists at once!

SIMKL allows users to organize TV shows, movies, or anime titles into custom lists for better tracking and categorization. With the Multi-List Assignment feature, users can now add a title to multiple custom lists simultaneously, making list management faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

This feature improves user experience by allowing a single action to organize content across several curated categories or themes.

Go to the page of the TV Show, Movie, or Anime you want to add (e.g., Friends).

2. Click "Add to Custom List"

Located in the right-hand panel under the “Watching” or “Completed” status block. You’ll see a button labeled: 📋 Add to Custom List (Listed in X lists)

3. Select Lists

A pop-up window will appear showing all available custom lists categorized under:

• All

4. Add to a New List (Optional)

Click + Add to a new list at the top right of the pop-up if you want to create a brand-new list on the fly.
