Bulk editing

Bulk editing lets you change several inventory articles in one go. It pays off, for example, when you adjust prices across a whole range, replace a standard text, or when your location or legal notice (Impressum) changes.

As soon as you select articles, the bulk actions appear above the list.

Depends on your plan

Bulk editing is included from the Plus plan. Without a suitable plan the button is visible but cannot be used.

Select articles and open bulk editing

1. Open Inventar (Inventory).

2. Narrow down the list using search, status filters or column filters.

3. Select the articles you want.

4. Click Bearbeiten (Edit) at the top.

5. Make the changes you want in the tabs.

6. Finish with Nur speichern (Save only) or Speichern & anwenden (Save & apply).

Filter first, then select

Bulk editing affects all selected articles. Check your selection before you save. An accidental price change across hundreds of articles can only be reverted one article at a time.

What you can change

Preis (Price)

• Auf Betrag setzen (Set to amount): All selected articles get the same price.
• Relativ anpassen (Adjust relatively): Changes the existing price. You can use fixed amounts such as +10 or -20 and percentages such as -10%.
• Betrag entfernen (Remove amount): Deletes the price, for example for “Auf Anfrage” (On request).
• Preistyp ändern (Change price type): Festpreis (Fixed price), VB (Negotiable) or Zu verschenken (Free to give away).

Titel (Title)

• Add text at the beginning or the end, for example a seasonal or promotional note.
• Search and replace, for example to swap an old model name for a new one.

Beschreibung (Description)

• Insert text at the beginning or the end.
• Search and replace. If the replacement field stays empty, the text that was found is removed.
• Replace the entire description.

The editor supports the same formatting as in the article, see Format descriptions.

Bilder (Images)

• Add images to the existing images.
• Set an added image as the cover image.
• Shuffle the image order randomly.

What shuffling is for

If you list many very similar articles, a different image order makes the ads look less uniform.

PDFs

• Add documents to the existing documents.
• Delete existing documents by their title, with multiple titles separated by commas.
• Delete all documents.

Standort (Location)

Set the postal code and street for all selected articles. Handy after a move or when a range of items changes to a different location.

Kontakt (Contact)

• Contact name, maximum 30 characters.
• Phone number.
• Legal notice (Impressum) for commercial ads.

Kleinanzeigen

Externer Bewerbungslink (Jobs) (External application link, Jobs): Sends interested people to an external application page instead of the Kleinanzeigen messages. This setting only takes effect in Jobs categories.

Save only or apply directly

At the end you have two options:

• Nur speichern (Save only): The changes are saved in the inventory articles. Active ads remain unchanged.
• Speichern & anwenden (Save & apply): clasify also transfers the changes to the active ads. This button only appears if at least one selected article is live.

The transfer runs in the background. You can see the progress and any errors in the task panel, see Tasks and progress.

More bulk actions in the inventory

In addition to bulk editing, the following are available for your selection:

• Planen (Schedule): Schedule several articles together or spread them over a period, see Scheduled articles.
• Synchronisieren (Sync): Sync listings with the platform.
• Inserierungen (Listings): Publish, republish, remove, pause or activate.
• Löschen (Delete): When you delete, clasify asks whether only the inventory articles or also the associated ads should be removed.

If a change does not take effect

• Check that the articles were actually selected. After saving, the selection stays in place so you can run further actions.
• With search and replace, the exact text you entered is searched for, including upper and lower case.
• If a field is synced from an import source, the next sync may overwrite your change again. Check the sync fields of Shopify or your feed.
• If the change is visible in the inventory but not in the ad, it was only saved and not applied.
