I can think of several use cases for this:
Organizing/deleting reports or rules, emptying the trash, restoring all contents, selecting all to unselect a few because it’s more efficient.
For example, let’s say you want to move all contents from one folder to another: you select the first, the second, and then for the third, you miss the click for 1 mm, clicking outside the box. That will cause the report to open, and when you go back, all reports are unselected again. The same behaviour happens in rules engine and report builder.
The other thing I would like to point out is that the order breaks when this happens, going back sets the landing page to the default view again. It would be great if the latest view set by the user was respected.

This is a small ask but a nice win on the admin quality of life front.
