This article explains how to edit multiple entities at a time in the Knowledge Graph. To edit entity data in bulk using a spreadsheet, see Upload Entities to Yext.
Bulk Edit Entities
- Navigate to Entity Search (Knowledge Graph > Entities).
- Apply any filter criteria to narrow down the set of entities you want to edit.
- Use the filter options at the top of Entity Search, or apply a saved filter by clicking the funnel icon.
- To create a new saved filter, see Create a Saved Filter.
-
Select the checkboxes next to the entities you want to edit. If you have applied a saved filter or other filter criteria, ensure that all entities in your filter are selected.
- By default, clicking the checkbox at the top of the Entities table will only select the first page of entities in the filter.
-
To select all entities in your filter, click the dropdown menu displaying the number of selected entities and choose Select All In Active Filter.
-
After selecting your entities, click the More Actions dropdown menu, and choose Edit.
-
On the bulk edit view for your selected entities, you will see the following information:
- The number of entities being edited (at the top of the screen)
- Fields that have the same value for all the selected entities will display the content of the field.
- Fields that have different values across the selected entities will be shown as <Various content>.
-
Any fields that cannot be bulk edited will be grayed out (e.g., Entity ID, Address.)
-
If your selected entities include multiple entity types, you can switch between entity type field presentations in the bulk edit view. Click the dropdown menu next to Active View in the upper left of the bulk edit view.
- Choose the entity type presentation you want to view.
-
Choose whether to group fields in alphabetical order by name, or by the entity type they belong to.
-
Click on a field to make changes.
- If the selected entities currently have different values for the field, click Reset all and enter the desired content.
- If the selected entities all currently have the same value for the field, the shared field value will display.
-
To save your changes, click Save for [X] profiles.
-
If you are bulk editing more than 2,500 entities at a time, the edit may take some time to process. To track the progress of large bulk edits, navigate to Knowledge Graph > Configuration and click the Entity Jobs tile (under the Data Ingestion & Processing section).
