Bulk edit
Fix hundreds or thousands of rows in one action — including rows you never scrolled to, across your full file or a search filter.
Bulk edit is how you fix systematic problems fast. Wrong brand on every line from a supplier? Empty column that should be filled? One value, one click, every affected row updated.
Search narrows what bulk edit touches
If you have a search filter active, bulk edit applies only to rows that match that search — every matching row in the file, whether you have scrolled to it or not. Clear the search field to work on the full import instead.
For a single cell, use Edit rows instead.
When to reach for bulk edit
- The same mistake repeats across many rows
- A whole column needs the same value
- A supplier export got one field wrong everywhere
Start bulk edit
- Open Review data in import preview.
- Click Actions → Bulk edit column.
- Pick the column you want to change — Name, SKU, Brand, Quantity, and more.
The grid switches to bulk edit mode: checkboxes appear on each row, key columns stay in view, and a bulk edit panel opens above the grid.
Edit at file scale
Large imports do not load every row at once. The grid brings data in as you scroll — which is why you can review a 20,000-line file without the browser breaking a sweat.
Bulk edit was built for that reality. Your selection is not limited to what happens to be on screen. When you apply a bulk edit, Import Ready updates every row in that selection — including rows you have never scrolled to.
That is true whether you are working on the whole file or a filtered slice of it.
The whole file
Need the same fix everywhere? Select Bulk edit column, click Select all, enter the new value, and apply. Every row in the import is in scope — not just the first page of results you see in the grid.
A filtered slice
Need the fix on one vendor, one product line, or one SKU pattern? Search first, then bulk edit. Select all respects your search: it grabs every row in the file that matches, not merely the matches currently loaded on screen.
From there, the workflow is the same — one value, apply, done.
A real-world example
Imagine a catalog of 20,000 products. Eight hundred rows from Acme shipped with the wrong brand. Scrolling to each one is not a plan.
- Search for
Acme - Bulk edit column → Brand → Select all
- Set the correct brand and apply
- Save changes
Eight hundred rows corrected. You may have only glanced at a handful in the grid.
Before you apply: glance at the bulk edit panel — Selected X of Y items. Y is the true size of your selection across the file, not the number of rows visible right now.
Apply, review, save
- Enter the new value in the bulk edit panel (text or dropdown, depending on the column).
- Click Apply to selected.
- Loaded rows update in the grid; validation issues may clear where the new value is valid.
- Click Save changes to persist everything. See Save & discard.
Exit bulk edit
Click Cancel in the bulk edit panel to return to normal mode. Edits you already applied stay as unsaved changes until you save or discard.
A few things worth knowing
- Search narrows scope; it does not enable bulk edit. Full-file bulk edit works without a search filter — search is there when you only want to touch part of the file.
- Resolve errors first. Bulk edit clears values you target, but other validation issues on those rows may still need attention.
- Bulk edit and delete mode do not run at the same time — finish or cancel one before starting the other.
