# How to Bulk Edit Library Content

## Overview

Bulk editing lets you update several Library items at once instead of opening each one individually. It is the quick way to recategorise a batch of content or change whether a group of items is restricted to Admins. You do this from **Settings → Library → Manage Private Library**.

## How to bulk edit content

1. Go to **Settings → Library** and click **Manage Private Library**.
2. Tick the checkbox on each content item you want to change. To select every item, use the select-all option at the top of the table.

3. In the actions bar that appears above the list, open the bulk actions menu and choose **Edit Content**.

4. In the **Bulk Edit** window, set the values you want to apply to all the selected items:
* **Category** — choose the category, sub-category or topic to file the items under.
* **Restricted to Admins** — toggle this on to make the items **Available to admins** only, or off for **Available to everyone**.
5. Click the **Update** button (for example, **Update 3 Private Library Items**) to apply your changes.

Once saved, you will see a **Content successfully updated** message and the table refreshes with the new values.

## Things to keep in mind

* Bulk edit applies the **same** values to every selected item — it is not for making different changes to different items.
* The **Restricted to Admins** toggle is applied to all selected items based on its position when you save, so check it is set the way you want before clicking **Update**.
* Each item is processed individually. If one item cannot be updated, the rest are still updated.
* The multi-select checkboxes that unlock bulk editing are only shown to Owners, Admins and Managers — see **Who can do this** below.

## FAQs

**Can I give each item a different category in one go?**
No. Bulk edit applies one set of values to all the items you have selected. To set different values, edit the items individually or run separate bulk edits.

**Why can't I see the checkboxes to select items?**
The selection checkboxes only appear for Owner, Admin and Manager roles. Without them, the bulk actions menu is not available.

**Where do I change other details like the title or description?**
Those are edited on the individual content item — bulk edit only covers the category and the Restricted to Admins setting.

## Who can do this

**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers** and **Content Managers** can bulk edit Library content. **Instructors** can edit individual items but the multi-select checkboxes are not shown to them, so they cannot use the bulk actions. **People Managers** may see the selection controls but cannot save bulk changes because they have read-only access to content. **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot.
