**Platform(s)**, such as mobile, website, API, other:

**URLs** (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant:

**Description of need** :  
_Describe the iNaturalist community need that your requested feature addresses. Include screenshots, URLs, and other details to help us all understand the issue._

**Feature request details** :  
_In detail, describe the feature you are requesting. This includes its functionality, where the feature is implemented, and what it might look like. Screenshots or mock-ups are helpful. The idea is to have a **concrete and actionable** request which the community can discuss and vote on. It might change through discussion, but it’s much easier to iterate and talk about something specific._

When you try to edit multiple observations , the menu is not the same as you upload the images. It is a pity because it is not useful the menu for batch editing or you can’t merge or duplicate images/observations easily.

This is the link for editing images that you already uploaded

and the menu that I would like to recommend to editing images is the same that this link

I am wondering if we can improve RFE for the edit menu , using a similar UX to when you upload images.  
It is very handy for merging duplicate images or editing with a good view (small icons) instead of a list.

Thanks
