When several transactions need the same change, select them and act on the whole group at once instead of editing one row at a time.

​
Select transactions

In the Transactions register or a single account, check the box on each row you want, or use the header checkbox to select everything in view. A bulk bar appears showing how many are selected. Choose Deselect all to clear the selection.

​
What you can change

With rows selected, the bulk bar offers:
Set one category for every selected transaction. Useful after a rule misses or a batch of imports comes in uncategorized.
Mark the selection Cleared or Uncleared. The account’s cleared balance shifts to match.
Apply a color flag — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple — to every selected row, or clear their flags.
Add tags to the selection or Remove tags from it. Adding keeps the tags each transaction already has; removing leaves the other tags in place. You can create a new tag from the picker while adding.
Delete every selected transaction. This can’t be undone from the dialog, so confirm the count first. Deleting reverses each transaction’s effect on its account balance and category.
To change the payee on a batch, set up a rule and apply it retroactively, or merge payees on the Payees page. The bulk bar covers category, status, flag, tags, and delete.

​
Tips for clean batches

  • Use search and filters first to bring up exactly the rows you mean to change, then select all and apply.
  • For categorizing on autopilot going forward, a rule beats repeating a bulk change every month.

​
If something looks wrong

  • A bulk change hit the wrong rows → use undo (z on the web) right away, or reverse it with another bulk action.
  • Balances look off after a bulk delete → Reconcile an account.

Search and filter

Narrow the register before you select.

Categorize

Assign a category to a single transaction.
