2. Click the Bulk Update button in the toolbar.
3. A dialog opens showing how many papers are matched.

# Choosing what to update

Paper bulk update supports two update types:

Update type	What it changes
Status	Changes every matched paper's publish status (e.g., set all to Withdrawn)
Tags	Adds tags to all matched papers, 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.

# Limits

Bulk Update can process up to 100 papers at a time. If your filter returns more than 100 results, narrow the filter before proceeding.

# After the update

A summary shows how many papers were updated. Click Done to close the dialog and return to the refreshed results.
