What is it?

The Bulk Move/Delete tool allows you to select a number of pages or attachments and either delete (move them to the Trash) or move them all to a new location under a new parent page.

Warning

Although there is an option to undo a move, you should still try to be careful with this tool. Although you will not lose any data, you can easily move all the pages in your space to the Trash or mess up your page structure. There is no trash for attachments or comments, so once they are deleted, they cannot be recovered. Therefore this tool is only available to be used by those with administrator rights. Please use with caution!

At the top of the screen, you will see the options menu, and on the bottom of the screen, you will see the selection menu with the page tree of checkboxes.  All pages will load initially with a

 status.  You can return to the page you were originally viewing at any time by clicking the "Go Back to Page" button.

This tool has two three modes, Pages mode, Attachments mode, andAttachments Comments mode.  The difference is pretty self-explanatory: Pages mode allows you to move/delete child pages, and Attachments mode allows you to move delete the attachments attached to the current page, and comments mode allows you to delete multiple comments from the footer of the page.

Deleting pages/attachments/comments:

To delete, make sure the pages/attachments/comments you want to delete are selected, and simply click on the "Delete Pages" (or "Delete Attachments" or "Delete Comments") button.  You will see a confirmation dialog, and if you confirm, all selected items will be deleted. Pages will be moved to the trash, but attachments and comments will be completely deleted. You will see the status next to each page change to

. After all items have been deleted, a status message will be shown at the top of the screen.

Info
If you delete a page that has children, they will be moved to the lowest level of the space, which means you will not be able to find them unless you choose the "Reorder Pages" option from the sidebar. If you delete a parent comment that has children, the child comments will become children of the original comment's parent (i.e. move one step up the comment tree).
