Batch Operations

Batch operations allow you to perform one operation on multiple keys at once. This is useful for performing operations on many keys, such as deleting all keys in a namespace or machine translating all keys in a project.

Selecting keys​

First, select the keys you want to perform the batch operation on. You can do this by selecting the checkbox next to the keys you want to select.

After selecting one key, you can select all keys by clicking the "Select all" checkbox next to the batch operation dropdown list. When you use the "Select all" checkbox after performing a search or applying filters, it only selects all the keys that match the search query or filter conditions.

To select multiple keys, click the key checkbox while holding shift, which will select all keys between the current one and your last selected one

Next, you can select the batch operation you want to perform from the dropdown list.
