How to do your first bulk edit

Bulk editing is the feature most sellers came to Everlyst for. The flow is designed so you can never accidentally change something you didn’t mean to change.

The 5-step flow

1. Filter or multi-select the listings you want to edit. You can filter by section, tag, price range, renewal type, or search by title - then “Select all matching” or check rows individually.
2. Click Bulk edit. A modal opens with a field chooser.
3. Pick the fields to change (e.g. tags, price, section). You can change one field or several at once.
4. Enter the new values. For tags, you can add, remove, or replace. For prices, you can set absolute, percentage change, or rounded values.
5. Review the diff preview. Everlyst shows every listing that will change with old → new for every field. Confirm to send to Etsy.

A safe first test

Pick a non-critical change as your first bulk edit:

• Add one tag to 3–5 listings, then revert it.
• Change the section of 5 draft listings.
• Update return policy across a small group.

Avoid making your first bulk edit something irreversible (like deleting listings).

What “review-first” actually means

Everlyst validates the entire payload locally before sending anything to Etsy. If a value would fail Etsy’s rules (e.g. a tag over 20 characters, a missing required attribute), you see the error in the preview and can fix it without burning an Etsy API call. Only after you click Apply does Everlyst hit Etsy’s updateListing endpoint.

What if something goes wrong

• Some listings fail mid-job - Everlyst keeps going, marks the failures, and shows you a per-listing report. You can retry just the failed ones.
• You changed your mind - every bulk job is snapshotted. See How Backup & Restore works to roll back.
