Ability to edit books in bulk

72 votes

I want to to be able to go to Library and have drop down edits and easier photo uploads, if needed. Then, I can save my edits in groups rather than having to edit each book individually.

I also think we should be able to click multiple titles and change the genre category. I added over 200 books and then had to change the category for each one individually. It would be so much faster to click and change multiple books at once.

Good news! Bulk edits are going to be included in the new Library page which will be released for beta on March 16, 2002.

Agreed Valerie! I have several books with no genre as I jumped into scanning excitedly about the tool without fully exploring the possibilities.

I see that this says that "bulk edits" were being added on March 16, 2002 but I don't personally see how to do this??

Hi Karen,

Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 situation we are working at a reduced capacity and have postponed all releases. We hope to be able to resume regular releases this summer around July.

I am not able to edit multiple books with for the same genre. I am new and my library states that it is a beta version. I think I am missing something?

I figured it out! So sorry! It is at the top right when you select multiple books as one of the editable field. I would delete my comment before it is approved - but I do not have the ability to do so.
