Using Bulk Actions to Manage Content and Users

While you are able to manage your users and content by clicking on their individual names and editing settings one at a time, you also have a wide range of bulk actions available from the user or content listing. This article will show you how to bulk select items as well as perform bulk actions through the listing page. The examples in this article use the listing page for Paks and files, but the process is largely the same for users as well as all other content types.
