Bulk Update Questions

When you need to change a property across many questions at once, use Bulk Update instead of editing questions one by one.

Important: Bulk Update applies changes to all questions matching your current filter, including Live questions. Review your active filters carefully before proceeding.

# How to run a Bulk Update

1. Go to Question Search page.
2. Apply filters on the search page to narrow down to the questions you want to update.
3. Click the Modify All button in the toolbar.
4. A dialog will open showing how many questions are matched.

# Choosing what to update

Select one of the three update types from the menu:

Update type	What it changes
Status	Changes every matched question's status (e.g., set all to Under Review or Withdrawn)
Source	Overwrites the source/origin text on all matched questions
Tags	Adds tags to all matched questions, or replaces their existing tags entirely

For Tags, you also choose whether to add the selected tags to existing tags or replace existing tags with the new selection.

4. Fill in the new value for the chosen update type.
5. Click Update Questions to apply.

# Limits

Bulk Update can process up to 100 questions at a time. If your filter returns more than 100 results, the Update button will be disabled with a message asking you to narrow your filter first.

# After the update

Once the update completes, a results summary is shown — how many questions were updated successfully and whether any failed. Click Done to close the dialog and return to the search results (which will automatically refresh).
