This doc explains how you can bulk edit products, orders, coupons, blog posts, users, any WordPress post type or any WordPress taxonomy.

How to perform bulk edit for selected records / all records (now or schedule)

  1. Select a dashboard from the drop-down.
  2. Select as many records as you want. You can also apply search filters to filter records and select some records from it to perform the bulk edit operation. To bulk edit all records, tick the header checkbox.
  3. Click on the ‘Bulk Edit’ button in the floating action bar at the bottom (appears once you select records in the grid). It will open a slide-over panel.

Smart Manager Task Title Modal With Schedule Bulk Edit Option
  1. In the Task Title modal:
  2. Title: A title is pre-filled based on your changes (e.g., “Edited Regular Price”). You can edit this name for easier reference and future actions, especially if you need to use the Undo option later. Note: This will be visible only if you’ve enabled Show tasks title modal in Settings.
  3. Schedule this bulk edit: Toggle this on if you want to run the Bulk Edit at a later date and time, instead of instantly.
  • If left off, the changes will be applied instantly.
  • If toggled on, a Schedule For field will appear. Enter the desired date and time (in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format) to schedule the Bulk Edit operation.
  1. Click ‘Ok’ to initiate the Bulk Edit operation (instantly or at the scheduled time, based on your selection).

That’s it. All actions will be performed in the sequence you’ve set in the Bulk Edit window – and on all the selected records.
