Batch change to Label and Status fields

[AmberV]

The Inspector on the right hand side only works on one Binder item (be it a document or a folder) at a time. So making changes over there only impacts the item that is highlighted in the Synopsis card. If you wish to make bulk changes–

Updated: Added techniques using the Binder, and removed some workarounds that existed prior to this ability.

Meta-data can be changed for bulk items in the Binder very easily. Simply select the documents you wish to change, and using the contextual menu supply the new values for the range of documents. This menu is also available in the Outliner and Corkboard views. Contrary to older versions of Scrivener, you do not need to have table columns or visual aids visible to make changes, just be aware that the changes you make may not be immediately visible.

Setting any of the document flags, such as Preserve Formatting, or Include In Export, can be set to all visible documents in the Outliner by using the Option button while clicking any of the check boxes. Of course, this requires making that respective column visible.

Finally, you can add keywords to multiple documents at once by dragging the keyword from the Keyword HUD, onto any of the selected items. This feature works in the Corkboard, and Outliner modes, as well as the Binder.

In short, the contextual menu is your friend. All visible toggles which have the appearance of being attached to a single item will change only that item, no matter what your selection is.
