A leaver hands back everything they held. A whole shelf gets written off. Bulk editing exists so none of that means opening ten pages. ## Selecting assets Tick the checkbox on any rows in the register, or the header checkbox to select the whole page. The selection toolbar appears the moment anything is selected, showing the count and the actions you can take. Selection plays well with [filters](/assets/the-register#finding-things). Filter down to "everything at the old office," select all, act once. ## Edit fields **Edit fields** opens the edit panel over the register: The bulk edit panel * **One asset selected**: you get the full asset editor, pre-filled with its current values. Handy for quick fixes without leaving the list. * **Several selected**: every field starts as *no change*. Only the fields you actually fill in are applied, to every selected asset. Everything else is left exactly as it was. Set *Location* and nothing but location changes on all of them. Fields your role can only propose (not write) work here too. Filling one in submits a [change request](/assets/change-requests) for every selected asset in one go, and you'll see a "pending approval" confirmation instead of an immediate change. ## Groups The selection toolbar can also assign the selected assets to a **group**, a named, coloured label like *Loan pool* or *FY26 refresh*. Groups appear as chips above the register for one-click filtering, and each asset shows its groups on its row, where they can be removed individually. Groups are labels, not locations. Use them for cohorts and projects that cut across categories and sites. ## Archive, unarchive, delete The remaining bulk actions do exactly what their confirmations say: * **Archive** hides the selected assets from day-to-day views while keeping their history: the reversible way to clear things out. Archived assets show an **ARCHIVED** badge, and selecting them offers **Unarchive** instead. * **Delete** permanently removes the selected assets, and is guarded by its own permission and a confirmation. When in doubt, archive. You can always delete later, but never un-delete. Every bulk action, like everything else in the product, lands in the [audit log](/operate/audit-and-rollback), so even a five-hundred-asset edit can be traced, and rolled back, change by change.
