Bulk Edit Submittals in a Package

Objective

To edit submittals in a submittal package in bulk. 

Background

If your project has a large number of submittals, you might want to occasionally make bulk edits to all or some of the submittals in a package. For example, if you want to associate all of the submittals in a package with a particular spec section or change the status of all the submittals at once, use the steps below. 

Note: To edit an individual submittal, see Edit a Submittal

Important! If you want to perform bulk editing actions on individual submittals that are NOT in the same Submittal Package, see Perform Bulk Actions on Submittals
