Using the Bulk Change functionality, you can perform two different operations on multiple content items at the same time: add, change or remove tags from content items or change content item type from article to page and vice versa. When you convert a media item to a page, you have the option of converting any tags assigned to it to a page label and, conversely, when converting a page to a media item, page labels can be converted to tags.

To perform bulk change actions on multiple content items, follow these steps:

...

1. Click the checkbox to the left of a content item that you want to change.
2. To select all content items for deletion, click the checkbox in the upper left part of the panel next to "Title".
3. Click [Next].

You can convert content from one type to another. The supported conversions are from page to article and from media item to page. All custom media item types that support XperienCentral content elements are supportedcan be converted to a page. A subset of the metadata from pages and native XperienCentral media types (articles) is also converted in the process, however, custom metadata cannot be converted and will be lost if you convert a custom media item to an XperienCentral page. In all cases, converted content items are in the inactive state after the converstion.
