Bulk actions
Select several items to change them in one step. Selection works in the merged list of all your accounts, in a single account, and in Watchtower’s lists.
Before you begin
- Actions that change items follow the Premium rules.
Select items
- Long-press an item. On desktop, you can also select it with the right mouse button. A selection bar appears.
- Select more items to add them, or select Select all.
- Select an action in the selection bar.
To leave the selection, select Clear selection.
Merge duplicates
- Select two or more items of the same type.
- Select Merge into…. The Merge items screen opens.
- Edit the merged item as needed.
- Choose what happens to the original items: Keep origin items (the default), Move origin items to archive or Move origin items to trash.
- Select Save.
The merged item combines the URLs, custom fields, tags and passkeys of all selected items. Every other field takes its most common value. Attachments aren’t merged: they stay on the original items. Environments can’t be merged.
Watchtower’s Duplicate Items list groups likely duplicates, so you can select and merge them there. See Watchtower.
Actions
The selection bar shows only the actions that fit the selected items.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Add to favorites, Remove from favorites | Adds the items to favorites, or removes them |
| Enable auth re-prompt, Disable auth re-prompt | Turns the authentication re-prompt on or off |
| Change names | Shows one name field per item |
| Change tags | Edits the tags of all selected items |
| Change passwords | Shows one password field per login. Only when every item is a login. It reads Add passwords when no item has a password. |
| Merge into… | Merges the items into one. Only for two or more items of the same type. |
| Create a send | Creates a send from values you pick in the items |
| Copy to… | Copies the items to another account, folder or organization. Attachments aren’t copied. |
| Move to folder | Moves the items to a folder. Only when all items are in one account. |
| Configure Watchtower alerts | Chooses which Watchtower alerts apply to the items |
| Export… | Exports the selected items |
| Archive, Restore from archive | Moves the items to the archive, or back |
| Trash, Restore from trash | Moves the items to the trash, or back |
| Delete forever | Deletes the items permanently. Only when every item is in the trash or not synced yet. |
With one item selected, the bar also offers Edit and, for a login with earlier passwords, View password history.
Copying to another account removes links to other items from the copies. Environment variables that reference other items become unset; their names are kept. Keyguard warns you before copying. Environments in an unsupported format cannot be copied to another account because their references cannot be checked. Copies within the same account keep links and environment references. The original items stay unchanged.
