Editing multiple in one go

You can edit multiple books in one go by using the Edit Multiple screen.

!Edit Multiple is the only feature in Book Connect that can overwrite existing data. Use it with great care.

1. Select multiple books

To begin, you need to select the books you want to edit. To select books, click the checkboxes on the left of each book entry in the list. Checkboxes are also available in Card View and Images View, just hover your mouse over a book.

The Select Mode is automatically activated as soon as you checkbox the first book, clearly indicated by the blue Batch Action Bar that replace the regular toolbar.

2. Use the Batch Action Bar

While in Select Mode, the blue Batch Action Bar is visible, always showing you the number of selected books. Also:

• Use the “Select all” checkbox to select all books in the current list in one go
• Use the “x Cancel” button on the right to leave Select Mode
• And of course, use any of the action buttons (Edit, Delete, Print, Export, Duplicate and Loan) to perform an action on the selection books

3. Choose the fields you wish to edit, then edit them

*You can clear a value for all books in your selection by using Edit on multiple books, then leaving the field empty (and with a red border) and then save it.
