Enable bulk operation for "page" categories
under review
Federico Marafin
Currently, only articles can be managed with bulk actions (publish, delete, hide, etc.). There is no current support for bulk operations for "page" categories.
For example, creating a copied workplace (from an existing one) is a frustrating experience if there are lots of "page" categories; they need to be manually published one by one at the moment.

Federico Marafin we appreciate the detailed explanation on this scenario, however we would like keep this request for others in the forum to upvote or share their feedbacks on the same. This would help us to evaluate the request in future. Thank you.

Thiru - Actually, working with Document360 support, I have received really useful information regarding a sort of workaround. The "bulk publish" for page categories is supported, just a bit hidden. I'm writing here the information for future reference. If you could make it more evident in the document360 documentation, that would be great.
Selecting Documentation > Workflow Assignments > Draft.
Here, not only "articles" but also "page categories" appear.
Then it's just a matter of using the "Select All" button and clicking "Publish".

Federico thanks for your feedback. We understand the pain point here, however there is a catch while page category can have multiple articles in it. Allowing bulk publish users might consider publishing those articles as well, which we would like to clarify with you if that's expected from your end as well? There may be scenario where users wouldn't want to perform the same. Kindly share your thoughts.

D360 Product Management: Fair point. For me, publishing a parent "page category" should not mean that all child articles or child folders should be published too.
Using the uploaded image as an example, I'd like to bulk publish just the "Parent Page Category A" (and other similarly unpublished pages).
Maybe it could be added as an additional option (but this would be a cherry on top). A prompt that asks the user, "The page categories you are publishing contain unpublished articles or folders. Would you like to bulk publish them too?"
