Edit Content

You can open fields and values and test the behavior. There is no autosave. To change values, you must select Save (bottom right).

Edits (updates) are only applied to the Content Items you see. If you plan to edit 50 items, filter by a Layer so you only see 20 items and then edit - you will only update the visible, filtered 20 items. Only the items you see (resultset) are updated.

Search, Filter, Find - the result set.

Video how to search, filter, and find your content.

In Picturepark, you have 476 Content Items (videos, images, brochures, etc).

You open the Product content channel. You see 28 Content Items.
1. The channel filters all corporate content inside this Picturepark for product content (channel filter).
You search for apple. You see 6 Content Items.
1. Picturepark searches through all searchable values (search index, indexed fields) and shows only apple content.
You filter by Technical Product Sheet. You see 2 items.
1. Picturepark searches for the tag, gets an ID, and filters all items in this list for this ID (Tagbox Filter).
You select Share. You share only 2 items.
1. Picturepark will only share the technical product sheets of apples in product content (in other words, your result set). The number next to the action indicates how many items you operate.
2. If you select one of the two, you will only share the selected item.

Edit One Content Item (Single Edit)

Open the content item detail view by double-clicking on the Content Item in the Content Browser, or use the Edit action from the toolbar or context menu. The numbers next to Edit indicate the affected Content Items.

You can also select a single item inside the Batch Editor. In this case, the numbers on the Save button show the items affected by the edit.

Edit Multiple Content Items (Batch Editor)

Users can batch add, edit, and remove Layers, Virtual Items, Permissions, and Owners by:

clicking on edit all in the toolbar (with nothing selected, with multiple items selected)
right-clicking on content and selecting the edit menu item in the context menu
clicking on the edit icon in the notifications

You can only edit 100 Layers, 100 Virtual Types, 100 Permission Sets, and 100 Owners. Even if more are applied, you don't see them.

Shortcuts are not supported here.

Batch Editor Layout

The Batch Editor has the following layout:

The search bar is at the top. Clicking on the filter icon next to a layer will add the layer filter here and show only the Content Items with the selected Layer in the mini Content Browser. Here, a filter icon will reset the chosen filters.
A mini content browser on the left lets you sort Content Items or change the display to larger thumbnails. Selecting Content Items will further refine your selection.
The edit mask is on the right. Here, you can update layer and layer field values, change virtual item content, modify permissions, or transfer ownership. Everything here applies to the content items on the left.

The Save button at the bottom will always display how many items are affected.

Edit Behavior

You only edit what you see. All operations in Picturepark are executed on your result set - the subset of items you see after you filter down your selection. If you haven't filtered or searched anything, the actions (if available) will be executed on all items.

When you edit a layer field value, only the content items that have that Layer applied will be updated. Assuming you select ten items and only 5 of them have the general information layer. You update the creator's information. Only the five items with the Layer already added receive the creator information. If you want to apply Layer and value to all ten items, choose the Apply to all-layer mode (see below).

The icons triggering different behaviors are shown next to the Layer, permission set, or owner:

Icon	Mode	Behavior
	Hide Item with Schema	Remove all items from my edit collection that have the value in front of this icon (Layer, Tag) assigned. The filter is added to the search box where it can be removed. The search box filter shows the entity icon you selected.
	Show Item with Schema	Show all items from my edit collection that have the value in front of this icon (Layer, Tag) assigned. The Layer is added as Filter to the search box where it can be removed. The search box filter shows the entity icon you selected.
	Undo	Undo my edits.
	Remove	Remove the selected value in front of this icon from content items in my edit collection.
	Clear	Clear all filters in the search bar.
	Clear	Clear individual filter value, for example, clear filter for tag value.
	Save items	The number of content items affected in this operation.
	Apply to all	Apply permission sets to all items in my selection.

Visual guidance in the Batch Editor

Black titles show that information is unchanged.
Green titles show you that you are only adding new information to content. You can select the Do not show confirmation message for green information messages. If you do so, Picturepark sets a cookie for your current browser, and these messages disappear while that cookie is active.
Orange titles show you that you are overwriting information on content. These confirmation messages are always displayed.
Orange strikethrough titles show you that you are deleting information from content items. These confirmation messages are always displayed.

Field Specialties

Batch Editing only for indexed fields ("included in filters"). Editing of non-indexed fields only in single edit mode and the batch editor will display a note informing you that This field is not indexed. Please use single edit.
Editing Relationship fields, Fieldsets, and Geo points only in single edit mode of the Batch Editor.
You will not see fields with calculated values in the batch editor as these cannot be edited, their value is constructed and only visible in view mode.
Tagboxes show the number of tags assigned in this field (for example, 5 values). You can click the arrow to see the individual values, which again show a number that indicates how often the tag is assigned (landscape ⁵means that Landscape is assigned to 5 items).

Tagboxes allow adding, overwriting, and removing tags. The button next to the tagbox allows you to define the behavior of tags.
Add – add your input; existing tags remain unchanged.
- Overwrite – overwrite with my input; remove existing entries.
- Remove – remove my input (if available) from this field and leave other entries unchanged; for example, remove Food.
