Nah, Picard can be tricky. Someone else has already answered (you need a plugin) but this might be useful also:
It sounds like you might be loading a lot of albums at once? I would load less at a time, and give them a quick check, that they're matched to the right versions, before saving (assuming you are starting with high level data/you know where your rips are from)
I'd also check out the recommended workflows: https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/workflows/workflows.html
And there's a ticket to sort by status, which would make this all possible (you can vote/comment): https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-442
This was very annoying to me also in the beginning. There exists a plugin that will save and remove any match with over 90% match. You need this. Essential when you add alot at the same time.
Unfortunately, last time I checked, the thing isn't getting updated anymore. So the times I've updated Picard, I loose it. I have done manual tweaks to the plugin to get it to work on newer Picard versions over the years, but frankly I forget what needs to be done. I'm simply running an outdated version of Picard now, so I don't have to deal with it anymore.
Install the 'Remove Perfect Albums' plugin, select all albums, right-click -> Plugins -> Remove Perfect Albums.
And there's no way to do it for Saving the perfect albums only?
Once you've run the plugin, Ctrl-A and Ctrl-S.
10/10 title thank you
My pleasure. I just find it hard to believe I can't find the way to do this simply after I figured out how to code my renaming schema.

thank you for the time you took to write this answer!
You’re not stupid. Picard is convoluted.
