Docspell allows to edit and delete multiple items at once.
|
|
|
|
## Toggle Selection Mode
|
|
|
|
Search the items you want to edit or delete and then select them by
|
|
changing into "select mode". This changes the view slightly by
|
|
changing the menu to the main area and the item cards have a dashed
|
|
border:
|
|
|
|
{{ figure(file="multiedit-01.png") }}
|
|
|
|
Then select items by clicking on the card. You can also change the
|
|
search form and add more items to the selection. The top left shows
|
|
how many items are selected and allows to select and deselect all
|
|
visible items. Selected items are displayed grey-ed out with a big
|
|
check icon. Clicking this icon deselects the item.

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Choose an Action: Edit
|
|
|
|
Once all desired items are selected, choose an action. Currently you
|
|
can edit or delete them. When clicking "edit", the left side menu
|
|
changes to a form for changing the metadata:
|
|
|
|
{{ figure(file="multiedit-03.png") }}
|
|
|
|
Changing the metadata in that form immediately applies it to all
|
|
selected items. You can change the selection anytime.
|
|
|
|
{{ figure(file="multiedit-04.png") }}
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are done, just click on the *Close* button or the icon from the
|
|
beginning to go back to "normal" mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Tags
|
|
|
|
Tags are a bit special, because they can hold multiple values.
|
|
Therefore the tag field can work in three modes:
|
|
|
|
1. _Add-Mode_ all tags you select are added to the items (the default)
|
|
2. _Remove-Mode_ all tags you select are removed from the items
|
|
3. _Replace-Mode_ all tags you select are being replaced on the items
|
|
(existing tags are removed, before adding selected tags)
|
|
|
|
You can change the modes using the small icon above the tag input
|
|
field (on the right).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Choose an Action: Delete
|
|
|
|
When choosing the delete action, a confirmation dialog shows up. If
|
|
you confirm the deletion, then all selected items are deleted at the
|
|
server and the view is switched back to normal mode afterwards. Note
|
|
that deleting a lot of items may take a while to finish.
