• Individual rows — tick the checkbox on the left of any product row, including variation rows under variable products.
• Whole page — tick the checkbox in the table header to select every row on the current page.
• All filtered products — after selecting the whole page, a "All on this page selected. Select all filtered →" link appears. Click it to select every product matching your current filters across all pages — no page limit.

Use Deselect all in the action bar to clear everything and start over.

The filter bar above the table lets you narrow the product list before selecting. All filters apply together with AND logic — only products matching every active filter are shown.

• Category — filter to products in one or more WooCommerce categories.
• Stock status — show only In stock, Out of stock, or On backorder products.
• Product type — Simple, Variable, Grouped, or External.
• Price range — set a minimum and/or maximum regular price.
• Attributes — filter by one or more attribute values (e.g. Color = Red, Size = Large). Supports both global taxonomy attributes and custom product attributes.

The dark bar at the bottom of the screen appears whenever you have at least one product selected. It's where all bulk changes are built and applied.

• Field picker — choose which field to update (Status, Price, Stock, Categories, etc.).
• Operation & value — controls change based on the selected field. Price fields show arithmetic options; category fields show Add / Remove / Overwrite.
• + Add — queues the current change as a chip. You can queue several fields before applying.
• Change chips — each queued change appears as a pill with a × to remove it.
• Apply N changes → — opens the confirm modal. Review the changes and click Apply changes to run them.

Choose Regular price or Sale price from the field picker, then pick an operation:

Stock quantity — choose Set to, Increase by, or Decrease by and enter a whole number. Each product's quantity is updated independently.

Stock status — directly set In stock, Out of stock, or On backorder regardless of current quantity.

Select Categories from the field picker, then choose how to apply:

• Add — appends the selected categories to each product's existing ones. Nothing is removed.
• Remove — strips the chosen categories from each product, leaving others intact.
• Overwrite with — replaces all existing categories with exactly what you select.

Three fields control how products appear in your store:

Variable products expand in the table to show their variations. Each variation row has its own checkbox, so you can select and edit specific variations independently.

• Variation rows show the attribute combination (e.g. Color: Red / Size: M) alongside the variation's own price and stock.
• Selecting the parent row does not automatically select all variations — select each variation row explicitly, or use the header checkbox to grab everything on the page.
• Price and stock changes applied to a variation row update that variation's values, not the parent product.

Immediately after a bulk update completes, an ↩ Undo button appears in the success toast at the top of the screen. Clicking it reverts every product in that operation back to its previous values.

• Undo is available for up to 2 hours after the operation and survives a page refresh within that window.
• Only the most recent operation can be undone in the free plugin. Running a second bulk edit replaces the undo target.
• For multi-step undo history, upgrade to Bulk Edit Pro.

The free plugin covers the core bulk editing workflow. Bulk Edit Pro extends it with:
