i see your point. . but i still think there's a disconnect between selecting multiple workspaces and knowing what actions are available once selected. i'm not sure how it could best be resolved. but, maybe we need to make the delete buttons closer to the table? if we're modeling after google, they have the scroll through pages at the same level as the delete option, not below.
