I have searched high and low for some method of wrangling my bookmarks in Safari in iPadOS 26. All of the tutorials I have found do not pertain to 26. All I want to be able to do is multi select a bunch of bookmarks, and move them into a folder I have created in my bookmarks menu. It does not seem to be possible.
Surely, I must be missing something.
Anybody have any ideas? Please let me know. Thanks!

Open the sidebar, tap on Bookmarks. To right of the Bookmarks heading in the sidebar, you’ll see the 3-dot icon (…). Tap that and choose “Select Bookmarks” to multi-select.

Selecting them isn't the problem, it's getting them to move to a different folder. This behavior is different in i(Pad)OS 26
 
Ah, yes I see that now. The good news: you can long-press (or right-click from a keyboard) on a bookmark, select Edit, and change the folder you want it to live in. The bad news: it appears you have to do this one bookmark at a time.
 
1. Select as many bookmarks you want
2. Long press and start moving your finger
3. Swipe them into the folder of your choice

EDIT: ups... it doesn't let you move. Odd...

Was this ever solved? Having the same issue. On Apple’s site it says when you select bookmarks you will see the lines to the right indicating they can be reordered or moved. Those lines don’t display. Why is such a simple function so frustrating?
