Introduction
The Bulk Changes feature in AutoDS allows you to edit multiple products or drafts at once, saving time and effort compared to updating each product individually.
With Bulk Edit, you can apply changes such as price adjustments, supplier edits, item specifics, AI rewrites, and more to selected products in just a few clicks.
⚠️ Important: Changes made through Bulk Edit apply immediately and cannot be undone. Always review your selection carefully before applying bulk updates.

Step-by-step
To apply bulk changes to your products or drafts:
-
Go to the Products page in your AutoDS dashboard.
-
Use the checkboxes to select individual products or click Select all to include all items in your store or filtered view.
-
From the top menu, click Bulk Edit.
-
In the pop-up window, choose the type of change you want to apply (e.g., price, supplier, AI rewrite).
-
Click Update to confirm.
-
Wait for the confirmation message once the update is processed.
💡 Tip: Always use filters first to make sure you are only updating the intended products.
Orders page
-
Go to the Orders Page from your AutoDS dashboard.
-
Use the checkboxes next to each order to select the ones you want to update, or click Select All to choose all visible orders.
💡 Use filters to quickly find specific orders you want to edit. How Can I Filter My Orders?
-
Click the ✎ (Edit) icon at the top of the list to open the bulk edit menu.
-
In the pop-up, choose the new status you want to apply to the selected orders.
The available options are:
# Option Description 1 Send to Auto Order Send pending orders to automation in bulk. 2 Pending Stop automation by marking orders as pending. 3 Ordered Mark orders as “Ordered” if placed manually (without Auto Order). 4 Shipped Mark orders as “Shipped” in bulk. 5 Delivered Mark orders as “Delivered” in bulk. 6 Canceled Cancel orders in bulk.
⚠️ This also cancels the order on the selling channel.
- Click “Update” to apply the changes. A confirmation message will appear—once it disappears, your updates have been successfully applied.
⚠️ Important
Automation: If you’ve chosen to use automation — whether FBA or Auto-Order — do not manually change the order status from Pending, Ordered, or Shipped. This will interrupt the automation process, and your order may not be fulfilled correctly.
Please take a look at the full explanations of each status here.
