    Hi team - is there any reason there is no mechanism tomovearticles in bulk? Or to merge two sections into one? I have inherited a Knowledge Base with a FAQ section and a 'How do I...?' section, which are really the same thing. I'd love to merge them.

    I'm wondering if Find & Replace is available in Zendesk Guide? It doesn't look like it...

    What I'm looking for is the ability to find and replace a work or phrase - for example, if I am renaming one of our products from "Chrome" to "Pita Browser", I want to be able to do that in bulk and not go one by one in 500 articles!!!

    Preben Edvardsenyes, I had the same problem. You can only make bulk changes when the source language of the articles is selected / filtered.

    We want to delete a note from 1000+ articles. Do we have an option to do this in bulk? The note is the same across all the articles. Please suggest the best possible approach. Thanks!

    Hello Saikumar ,

    At this time, unfortunately, It does not look like this is an option asUpdating knowledge base articlesin bulk only allows certain things.

    I encourage you to create a new post in theGeneral Product Feedback topicin our community to engage with other users who have similar needs and discuss possible workarounds. Conversations with a high level of engagement ultimately get flagged for product managers to review when they go through roadmap planning.

    Specific examples, details about impact, and how you currently handle things are helpful for our product teams to understand the full scope of the need when working on solutions. You may also want to review the Product feedback guidelines and how to write an effective feedback post [https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413820079386-Giving-Product-Feedback-at-Zendesk-].

    When assigning articles in bulk, the assignee receives multiple separate emails. Is it possible to consolidate the notification emails into one email that contains links to all the articles?

    Thank you.

    Hi Joanne,

    As it turns out, we bulk article update does not have the capability to consolidate all emails. It will be sent individually for all emails assigned to a user.

    I would like the option to bulk change the article's template.

    It would also be nice if this bulk changing was available in Category and Section too.

    Hi Dane,

    Would you be able to recommend a workaround that would enable me to get multiple articles reviewed efficiently without spamming the reviewer with multiple emails?

    Thank you
