Bulk editing of pins and tasks

Bulk editing allows you to change certain settings at once for multiple pins or tasks. For example, you can quickly transfer tasks from one person to another or create the same task in multiple pins.

You can also create the same task in multiple pins.

This editing option is only available in the web app.

For a comprehensive understanding of this feature, you can also explore the part of our live seminar dedicated to bulk editing. The seminar delves into practical demonstrations and explanations, offering a visual guide to leveraging this tool effectively.
