# Bulk Move and Delete Documents

When you need to reorganize or clean up your knowledge base, bulk actions save time.

## Requirements

- **Upload** permission to see checkboxes and use bulk delete
- **Organize** permission to use bulk move

## Selecting Documents

1. Go to **Knowledge**
2. Hover over any document row to reveal a checkbox
3. Click the checkbox to select it
4. Select as many documents as you need

In the grouped folder view, clicking a folder's checkbox selects all documents in that folder.

Once any document is selected, a **floating action bar** appears at the bottom of the page showing "N selected" and your available actions.

## Bulk Move

Click the **Move to folder** dropdown in the action bar, then select a destination folder (or "Unfiled" to remove from a folder).

**Restrictions:**
- All selected documents must share the same access level (folders are tied to one access level)
- You need the **Organize** permission
- The dropdown only shows folders that match the common access level

If you select documents from mixed access levels, the Move button is disabled with a tooltip explaining why.

## Bulk Delete

Click the red **Delete** button in the action bar. A confirmation dialog shows how many documents you're about to delete. Click confirm to proceed.

## After Bulk Actions

**Move:** Toast shows "Moved N documents to [folder name]". Documents appear in their new folder immediately.

**Delete:** Toast shows "Deleted N documents". If some documents couldn't be deleted (e.g., currently processing), you'll see a partial success message.

Selection is cleared after any bulk action completes.

## Tips

- Use bulk move after creating a new folder to organize existing content
- Filter by access level first to make selection easier
- Checkboxes disappear when you apply a search filter (bulk actions work on the default view)
