Much like WordPress’ other post types that let you assign categories, tags or post statuses en mass, WooCommerce products also have a bulk editing feature.
To access its power, navigate to Products > All Products, tick two or more products from the list, and select Edit from the Bulk Actions menu at the top or bottom of the list, and click Apply to enter the world of bulk editing.
An edit screen with the following fields are revealed, a change to which will affect all the selected products once you hit the Update button, visible to the bottom-right of the edit window.
Bulk Editing Fields #
Below are the default WooCommerce fields one might encounter, although when certain extensions are active, additional fields might also be present.
Bulk Edit – shows the currently selected products that will be affected. Click the x to remove a particular product from the active bulk edit session.
Product Categories – a list of your product categories that can be ticked or unticked to assign or remove them from the selected products.
Comments – can be set to either Allow and Do not allow
Status – reflecting the product’s published status, options include Published, Private, Pending Review, or Draft
Product Tags – once you start typing, existing product tags are offered as options to click. Otherwise, add one or more new tags, separated by commas.

Bulk Editing Limitations #
Bulk editing works best with Simple products, and cannot edit the complexities of variable, grouped, or other complicated products.
Bulk editing can only be applied to products that are visible and can be ticked for inclusion in a bulk editing session.
Options for filtering products #
Increase the number of products visible on any one page by going to Screen Options > Number of items per page. Be aware the excessively high numbers of products on one page might strain your browser, and take a long time to update, so use wisely.
Filter by category, product type, or stock status by selecting the relevant attributes from the dropdowns at above the product lists, and clicking the Filter button.
Sort products by column ascending or descending by clicking on hyperlinked column headings. By default Name, SKU, Price and Data (published) columns can be used for this type of sorting.
Quick Editing #
Quick editing is similar to Bulk editing, but applies to one product only. To access Quick editing, hover over a particular product to reveal its links, and then select Quick editing.
It’s exactly the same as Bulk editing, except that because only one product is involved, the product’s current values are shown in the fields instead of – No Change – as is the case when bulk editing.
