Perform Bulk Actions on Ideas

There are three actions you can perform on active ideas: update public status, update internal status, delete, mark as spam, add labels and move between forums or categories.

First, navigate to the forum (click the Ideas icon (lightbulb) in the left-hand menu-> Click "All open suggestions" -> Click the forum filter at the top -> Select a forum).

• Click the checkbox on the left for the ideas you want to select 

• If you want to perform the action on all suggestions listed, click the checkbox at the top of the list (You can select up to 5,000 suggestions)

• Select the action you want to perform from the blue bar at the top of the list 

And you're done! 

You will have the option to undo your bulk action after it is completed, except in the case of status updates - these cannot be undone. For all other actions, this option will remain until you refresh the page or leave the forum. 

To Perform a Bulk Action on Removed Suggestions

Removed suggestions are suggestions that have been deleted, marked as spam, or converted to a ticket (for those using Support Tools). You can perform bulk actions on removed suggestions or restore them. 

The restore action will return suggestions that have been deleted or converted to a ticket to their original state. 

First, navigate to the forum (click the Ideas icon (lightbulb) in the left hand menu -> Click "All open suggestions" -> Click the forum filter at the top -> Select a forum).

• Click the Status dropdown to filter suggestions by marked as spam, deleted or merged, or converted to ticket.

Note: If you restore a merged idea, it will re-open the idea on the forum, but it won't undo the merge.

• Click the checkbox on the left for the suggestions you want to select

• If you want to perform the action on all suggestions listed, click the checkbox at the top of the list (You can select up to 5,000 suggestions)

• Select the action you want to perform from the blue bar at the top of the list
