2.1 Add Bulk Labels

Applies one or more labels to selected pages or blog posts. Any labels already on those pages are preserved - nothing is overwritten.

When to use: Tagging a set of pages with a new project label; applying baseline labels when setting up a space; adding a category label to existing content.


Step 1 - Select Labels

Type a label name in the Add Label(s) field. Press Enter or select a suggestion from the dropdown to confirm it - the label appears as a removable tag inside the field. Repeat to add multiple labels at once.

Click Next when your labels are set.

Step 2 - Content Selection

Choose which content the label should be applied to.

Behaviour

This content with its all child content

Applies the label to the current page and every descendant page automatically - no manual selection needed.

Choose Content

Displays a page tree. Check each page you want to include.

Expand any page in the tree using the arrow on the left to reveal and select individual child pages independently.

Click Next when your selection is ready.
