Feature
On the index page of a resource, or when viewing nested resources on a resource show page, when a user selected a one or more records and then cicks on a pagination link/button the selected resources are not persisted.
Ideally a user would be able to select multiple resources across the paginated records and then bulk delete or perform a bulk action.
Right now, it is not clear to the user the the prior resources are no longer selected.
Current workarounds
For smaller collections of resources it is possible to increase the number of items per page to select more than the default pagination amount, but for larger collections this would likely cause memory issues.

The video shows what happens when selecting a resource from the blog posts on the AVO demo site. When no records are selected the action is disabled, which occurs after changing pages. When navigating back the checkbox briefly shows as selected but I think this is just due to browser caching, as no params are passed in the the pagination request related to selected resources.
Additional context
I have not seen this behavior implemented elsewhere. This could potentially be solved by having a stimulus controller tracking the selected items, or by making a get request when checkboxes are updated, and use turboframes/streams to update the pagination links with the currently selected resources, and then create hidden form fields for the resources not shown on the page.
It might be a good idea to indicate to the user the number of resources currently selected, so that they are not performing actions/deleting records they are unaware of.
