How do you get a whole line of alternative moves instead of just one by one?

When I go to analysis mode, it shows a line of moves I could have played. When I click on it, it only shows the next move. I have to keep clicking the line. Is there a way to tell it to put ALL moves into the notation and follow through the moves?
Just bumping this thread to see if anyone might know the answer to the question. I still have to keep clicking the suggested Stockfish lines move by move instead of being able to import them.
As far as I know this functionality is not there; not even for one line; let alone if you have Stockfish displaying more than one line.

If I understand your question correctly, then it is possible.
This is my most recent game, let use it as an example.
When you go to analyze board, click on the 1st alternative move (move 3,cxd4), it jumps to that position, and if you press the arrow button below the board, it will move through the sequence of alternative moves shown in the analysis.

I play on Android system phone, but I don't think there is a different regarding this, rather you use phone, computer or app.
Hope I explained it clearly. And hope it's the answer you were looking for.

Not possible, but you can always click towards the end of the line and you'll have quite a few moves. What are you trying to do?
Sorry I take that back, I tested it and you do have to click each time, but it really isn't that much work, just spam click the line. How far are you wanting the line?
@MathematicChess Here is a picture to show what I am trying to do ibb.co/BGWHyLT . In a program called Tarrasch it has Stop, Capture Top, and Capture all in the lower right. in the picture it shows what happens when you select Capture Top. One line of moves are listed and then you can use the arrow keys to move through the line. On this site I have to keep clicking the the line. so, it isn't "capturing". For now, what I am doing is copying the .pgn into Tarrasch and then going through alternative lines because I don't see a way to capture a bunch of moves at once.
Ah I see @tigerprowl
Unfortunately I don't think that's possible. But you never know, it could come out as an update in the future! What are you trying to use the lines for? If it just for studying you can always just use the study tool on lichess and make new chapters to save the lines and study them.
I don't keep the lines, if for example you are trying to find out if B should go to d7 or fianchetto on b7, in the Tarrasch program I showed you can easily bring 4 lines of moves into a game at the same depth. Then you can use the arrow keys to play through the moves. Sometimes Stockfish shows Bb7 in some lines and Bd7 in others. Until now, I never had quick access to a database of master games. I have been using the free database stuff on Chessbase, but you have to put in each move one by one. Here it comes up instantly. However, the same problem arises. When the masters don't play the move you did, do you simply just look at the 1 move they made instead or do you see what strategy or development you could still do against a weaker opponent by going over Stockfish lines? This has taught to play moves like Na5 to attack white's LSB if a3 hasn't been played, or Qh4 in the Scotch. In master games they already know this and have ways to prevent black from making certain moves. I think it is a good idea for us lower rated players to see these alternative moves so we can gain experience dealing with those positions from the other side.
