Bulk Editing Video Status

Use the Bulk Edit icon to set the status of several videos at once to either Active or Inactive. Further, you may decide to delete the videos once they expire or set a publish date in the future as well.

Additional Information: See the "Bulk Editing Video Settings" topic if you are unclear on how the Bulk Edit interface works.

To bulk edit the status of several videos:

1. Navigate to User > Media > All Videos | My Videos | Expirations.

3. Select the videos you want to edit by clicking the checkbox to the left of each. You may also select all videos in the list by selecting the top checkbox.

4. Click the Edit Videos gear to access the bulk edit functions.

5. In the Status dropdown, select which status setting you want to set on the videos you have selected. In the example below, all selected videos will have an Active status applied.

6. Click the Save button. You will receive a notification that the bulk operation has been submitted.

7. Each video you selected will now have the status you set applied; in this example, Active.

Tip: If you are unsure on the results of a bulk edit, test it on one video first before applying it to multiple videos.
