# Performing Bulk Actions
> π Learning Objectives
>
> * Understand where and how to perform bulk actions
> * Master bulk editing of attributes for product sheets, assets, and variants
> * Master bulk deletion, movement, and linking of elements.
***
You can perform bulk actions on search results from the **Advanced Search** page. This feature enhances your productivity by allowing you to modify a large volume of data with just a few clicks.
Bulk actions concern the following elements: product sheets, assets, and variants. Classifications cannot be modified in bulk.
Ensure you are familiar with the advanced search page in order to carry out the following actions.
***
# Bulk Editing Attributes
**Bulk editing** allows you to update multiple attributes simultaneously on product sheets, asset, or variants. For product sheets, you will also need to select a document type (doctype).
1. Perform a search on a selection of items from the **Advanced Search** page,
2. Next, select the items you wish to modify by checking their checkboxes, or by selecting "select all results",
3. Click the **Actions** button, then in the dropdown menu, choose **Edit**.
4. A dialog box will allow you to configure the bulk editing of the selected items.
* The number of selected items is indicated in the header of the window. Enter and/or select the following information:
* **Attribute to modify**: Select an attribute to modify from the dropdown list.
* **Value**: Select or enter a new value for the attribute.
* **Empty the value** (in all languages): Clears the attribute value in all locales. (This option on a translatable text attribute will only clear the values in the current language.)
* Click the **Save** button to update the attributes.
> π Good to know
>
> * You can add multiple attributes to modify by clicking the **Add an attribute** button or delete them by clicking the **trash can** icon.
> * If you modify or clear the value of a translatable text attribute, it will only be modified in the current data language.

# Bulk Deletion of Items
**Bulk deletion** allows you to delete a selection of items at once on product sheets, asset, or variants.
1. Perform a search on a selection of items from the **Advanced Search** page,
2. Next, select the items you wish to delete by checking their checkboxes, or by selecting "select all results",
3. Finally, click the **Actions** button, then in the dropdown menu, choose **Delete**.
4. A dialog box will ask you to confirm the deletion of the items. Follow the instructions to confirm the deletion.
> π§ Irreversible Action
>
> This action is irreversible. Once the bulk deletion is done, it is not possible to recover the deleted items.
***
# Bulk Moving of Items
**Bulk moving** allows you to modify the classification of a selection of items at once on product sheets, asset, or variants.
1. Perform a search on a selection of items from the **Advanced Search** page,
2. Next, select the items you wish to move by checking their checkboxes, or by selecting "select all results",
3. Finally, click the **Actions** button, then in the dropdown menu, choose **Move**.
4. A dialog box will ask you to select the classification to which you want to move the items. Expand the classification, select the chosen classification node, then click "**Validate**".
> π§ Irreversible Action
>
> This action is irreversible. Once the bulk move is done, it cannot be undone.

# Bulk Selecting Attribute Set for Items
**Bulk selecting attribute set** allows you to define an attribute set at once for a selection of product sheets.
1. Perform a search on a selection of product sheets from the **Advanced Search** page,
2. Next, select the items you wish to modify by checking their checkboxes, or by selecting "select all results",
3. Finally, click the **Actions** button, then in the dropdown menu, choose **Attribute set selection**.
4. A dialog box will ask you to select the attribute set from a list. Expand the list, select the chosen attribute set, then click **Apply**.
> π§ Irreversible Action
>
> This action is irreversible. Once the bulk modification is done, it cannot be undone.

# Bulk Linking of Items
**Bulk linking** allows you to link at the same time:
* either a selection of product sheets with:
* product sheets,
* asset sheets,
* either a selection of assets with:
* product sheets,
* variants,
* or a selection of variants with:
* product sheets,
* asset sheets,
β‘οΈ by selecting the type and link to consider.
## Bulk Linking Product Sheets with Product Sheets or Assets
First, perform a search on a selection of product sheets, then:
* Select the items you want to link by checking their checkboxes, or by selecting "select all results",
* Finally, click the **Actions** button, then in the dropdown menu, choose **Link**.
A dialog box will ask you to select the link to consider. Expand the list and select:
* **Document -> Document** parent or child, to link the product sheet to other product sheets. Then select the document to link from the dropdown list, then click **Apply**.
* **Document -> Asset** child, to link the product sheet to an asset. Then select the asset from the dropdown list, then click **Apply**.
## Bulk Linking Variants with Product Sheets or Assets
First, perform a search for a selection of variants, then:
* Select the items you want to bulk link by ticking their checkboxes, or click on "Select all results,"
* Finally, click the **Actions** button, then from the dropdown menu, choose **Link**.
A dialog box will prompt you to select the link to consider. Open the dropdown list and select:
* **Document β Variants**, to link the selected variants to a product sheet. Then select the document to link in the dropdown list and click **Apply**.
* **Variants β Asset**, to link an asset to the selected variants. Then select the asset to link in the dropdown list and click **Apply**.
> π Bulk Linking Asset Sheets
>
> Bulk linking asset sheets with product sheets or variants follows the same principle:
>
> * Select asset to link,
> * Choose the asset-document or asset-variant link to consider,
> * Select the product sheet or variant to link, then validate.
> π§ Irreversible Action
>
> This action is irreversible. Once the bulk linking is done, it cannot be undone.
***
> π In summary
>
> * **Bulk Actions from Advanced Search**: Allows you to apply modifications to a large volume of data. It is not possible to perform bulk actions on classifications.
> * **Bulk Editing**:
> * Select items to modify from the advanced search,
> * Modify attributes of multiple items at once,
> * Ability to clear or change attribute values.
> * **Bulk Deletion**:
> * Select items to delete,
