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](/rules/create-a-rule) and [apply it retroactively](/rules/apply-retroactively), or [merge payees](/transactions/payees) on the Payees page. The bulk bar covers category, status, flag, tags, and delete. ## Tips for clean batches * Use [search and filters](/transactions/flags-search-filter) first to bring up exactly the rows you mean to change, then select all and apply. * For categorizing on autopilot going forward, a [rule](/rules/create-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](/reconciling/reconcile-an-account). ## Related Narrow the register before you select. Assign a category to a single transaction. Create and manage the tags you apply. Automate the change instead of repeating it.
