How to bulk edit listings content and settings?
To bulk edit listings, please follow the next steps:
- Go to your Hostaway Dashboard > Listings
- Click on Edit > You will see an icon next to the tab title
Select the fields you would like to copy
When you click the button, you will be asked which settings in the tab you want to copy to other listings. You can then check the box and select the ones you wish to copy to all your other listings.
Note: Only saved values will be copied, so if you change a value, you'll need to save it first and can only copy it after.
Select the listings you want to export these fields to
You can choose which listings you want to copy the selected fields from. You can search the listings by name, ID, or tags.
Choose to export information to channels or not
You can choose whether you want to export the changes to channels or just save them in Hostaway. You can click "Read more about this here" below each channel for more information on the export process.
