Umbraco Entity Bulk Actions

What is it?

Entity Bulk Actions perform an action on a selection of multiple items at once. They appear in the collection selection toolbar when users select multiple items, enabling batch operations like bulk publishing, deleting, or custom processing across multiple entities simultaneously.
