When you have several assets to handle, bulk actions let you run one operation across all of them at once — saving time and keeping your work consistent. You'll find bulk actions on folder detail pages, inside a Collage, on search results, and on the Uploaded page for newly added assets. They're not available on the root Folders or Collages lists, or in Trash.
Select assets and folders
Select items any of three ways:
- Checkboxes — click the checkbox next to each item, or the one in the header to select everything currently loaded.
- Shift+Click — select one item, then Shift+Click another to select everything in between.
- Click and drag — click an empty area and drag over the items you want to select. Dragging back over an already-selected item deselects it, and pressing Esc clears the selection.
As soon as you select anything, a bulk action bar appears showing how many items are selected. It floats over the page, and you can drag it to a different spot on screen rather than it staying pinned in place. If your library has more items than are currently loaded on the page, the bar also shows a "Want to select all?" prompt — click it to extend your selection to everything, not just what's loaded so far.
Run a bulk action
- Add to Collage — add the selected assets to a new or existing Collage. (Inside a Collage, this option reads Add to another collage.)
- Insert Custom Field — apply a custom field value to the selected assets.
- Share — share the selected items in bulk.
- Download — save the selection to your device. Multiple assets download as a ZIP file; a single asset downloads directly. See downloading assets.
- Tag — apply tags to the selected assets: type at least 3 characters to see suggestions, then click Add. See tagging and custom fields.
- Move — relocate the selected items to another folder. See moving and deleting assets.
- Delete — send the selected items to the Trash.
On a narrower window, the bar tucks less-used actions into a ··· menu to save space. Add to Collage and Share always stay visible; Download, Tag, Insert Custom Field, Move, and Delete are the ones that can collapse.
Which actions work on assets only
Add to Collage, Tag, and Insert Custom Field apply to assets only, so they don't work when your selection includes folders.
If you need to add items to a Collage, tag them, or set a custom field in bulk, deselect any folders first so your selection contains only assets. The other actions — Share, Download, Move, and Delete — work across a mixed selection.
