Bulk‐delete documents directly from the Atlas Collections UI

Right now, Atlas only lets you delete an entire collection or run a “drop” command—you can’t remove individual documents (or a selection of documents) from the web UI. It would be extremely useful to add: A Delete action next to each document in the Find view A checkbox column so you can select multiple documents A “Delete Selected” button that prompts for confirmation This would let developers and DBAs quickly remove test data, expired records, or bad imports without switching to Compass, writing a manual query, or dropping and recreating collections. It would improve productivity and reduce the risk of accidentally dropping an entire collection just to purge a few documents.
