Bulk operations

When you need to update many documents at once — re-sync a batch of URLs, archive last year's content, or promote a set of drafts to Live — the floating action bar is faster than opening each document one by one.

Floating bulk action bar with the Set status popover open

Selecting documents

There are two ways to select:

  • Row checkboxes — Click a checkbox on the left of a row. A checkbox appears on hover.
  • Header checkbox — Click the checkbox in the table header to select / deselect all visible rows.

The floating action bar appears at the bottom of the screen as soon as the first row is selected. The counter shows {selected}/30 selected.


⚠️

30-document limit per batch

The bulk endpoints process up to 30 documents at a time. The counter shows your progress against this limit. To update more, run the action in batches.

Available bulk actions

Synchronize

Re-pulls the latest content for the selected URL-based documents. Non-URL documents in the selection are skipped silently.

Use Synchronize when:

  • A batch of source pages has been updated (e.g. policy refresh, product launch).
  • You need a faster refresh than your scheduled rate.

Set status

Opens a popover with Live, Draft, and Archived options. All selected documents move to the chosen state in one API call.


Use Set status when:

  • Promoting a batch of drafts to Live after validation.
  • Archiving a campaign's content at end-of-life.
  • Pausing a set of documents temporarily by moving them to Draft.

Delete

Permanently removes the selected documents from the Knowledge Hub.

❗️

Delete is irreversible

Deleted documents are not soft-deleted — they're gone for good. Prefer Archive if you might need the content later.


Clearing the selection

Three ways to clear:

  • Click Clear selection next to the items count above the table.
  • Click the close (✕) icon on the right of the floating bar.
  • Uncheck the header checkbox.
