Use Bulk Update to Edit Assets

With the Bulk Update feature, users with Administrator, Business Admin or Author privileges can apply changes to multiple assets at once. Using the Enhanced Search, select the list of assets you want to update. From there, filter assets via the facets panel and choose one or more fields to fill in for the selected assets. This feature is particularly useful if you have remotely uploaded assets that are missing sponsors, assignees and category values, or if a user has moved on to a different job and their assets must be reassigned. For more information about filtering result sets, refer to Enhanced Search.

Bulk Update can apply mass changes to the following fields:

• Assigned To
• Sponsors
• Category value
