Bulk Editing (also called Multi-select) lets you update several tasks at the same time instead of opening each task one by one.
This is especially helpful when you want to quickly:
add the same reminder or due date to many tasks
move tasks to a different list or board section
assign multiple tasks to a teammate
mark a batch of tasks as done
✅ Who can use Bulk Editing?
Available on: Web and Desktop apps only
Plans: Free, Premium, Family, Workspace
