Batch operations
Batch operations let you update multiple tasks at once instead of opening each one. Useful for tidying up your queue, reassigning a team member's work, or moving a group of completed tasks out of the active view.
Selecting tasks
- Tick the checkbox on any task row.
- Continue ticking — no limit on how many.
- A toolbar appears at the top showing "Updating N tasks".
Use the column-header checkbox to select all visible tasks at once.
What you can batch update
| Field | Options |
|---|---|
| Status | Pending, In progress, On hold, Completed, Archived |
| Assignee | Specific team member, or Unassigned |
| Tags | Apply a tag (or set), replacing existing tags |
Each field defaults to Do not change — only fields you actively change will be updated. Click Update tasks to apply.
Common use cases
- Clearing completed work — select a group of Completed tasks and batch-archive
- Reassigning a team member's queue — filter by their assignee, select all, reassign in one action
- Tagging a group — apply a tag to many tasks at once
- Moving to On hold — if waiting on a response for a cluster of related tasks
Things to keep in mind
- You can only set tags to existing values — you can't create a new tag through a batch operation
- Batch tag updates replace existing tags on selected tasks — be careful if some tasks already have important tags
- Changes apply immediately and can't be undone in bulk
