Bulk-edit with Snapshot & revert.
The heart of the PIM. Edit 25+ fields at once, live progress in real time, automatic snapshots before every operation — mass updates fast, safe and reversible.
Process
Four steps, clearly separated.
From filter to revert: every step is traceable and reversible. Even for thousands of products in one operation.
2
Open modal
Button "Bulk-edit" above the table. Modal shows count of affected products and filter status.
3
Define fields
One or multiple fields at once. Per field the desired value. Preview shows before/after per product.
4
Execute
Confirmation → snapshot is created → operation runs with live progress → audit log entry created.
Bulk-editable fields
25+ fields — from name to cross-selling.
22 of them are fully snapshot-capable. Three fields with inherent limitations — see "Snapshot & revert".
Master data
Identification & texts
Name, description, meta title, meta description, keywords, EAN, manufacturer number, manufacturer, active status.
Prices
Prices & tax
Price (gross/net), list price, tiered prices, tax rate. Optional transfer to variants.
Base price
Content amount & unit
Content amount plus base price unit (e.g. "per 100g"). Both fields together bulk-capable.
Product unit
Piece / litre / kg / ...
Product unit as entity dropdown — is used in Shopware as sales unit (displayed in storefront).
Stock
Warehouse & availability
Stock, available stock, "available from" / "available until" as date fields.
Dimensions
Shipping-relevant data
Length, width, height, weight, packaging unit, delivery time — all bulk-editable.
Categories
Categories & tags
Assign or replace categories, main category per sales channel, add/remove tags.
Channels
Sales channel visibility
Visible per channel or not. Assign cross-selling groups, add properties.
Custom fields
Also per language
All custom fields released in the config matrix — including language-specific CFs (with correct translation save).
Action "Limit to filter"
Only edit matching variants.
When filtering in the listing on a variant field and bulk-editing, you usually want to touch only the matching variants — not the parent and not other variants.
Example
Filter: "Colour = red" → Bulk: set delivery time.
With the "Limit to filter" toggle active, only the variants with colour "red" are changed. The parents remain untouched, other variants (blue, green, ...) also stay. Without the toggle, the parent product and all its variants would be changed too.
Snapshot & revert
Before-state & one-click restore.
Before every bulk operation, a snapshot of the pre-state is automatically created. Revert in the audit log with one click.
What is snapshotted
All bulk fields before
Field values affected by the bulk before, incl. translations per language. Timestamp and username.
22 of 25 fields
Fully snapshot-capable
Three fields cannot be fully reverted for technical reasons: SEO URL (generated), tiered prices→variants (would snapshot all variants), and cross-selling→variants (similarly).
Revert
One click in audit log
Open the entry in the audit log, click "Revert". The previous values are bulk-restored. The revert is also logged in the audit log.
Diff display
Before / after per product
In the audit log detail you see a diff table: what was changed how per product.
Live progress
No black-box feeling.
For large operations (500+ products) you see in real time what happens — and can cancel midway.
Counter
"X of Y processed"
Live-updated counter. With 500 products you see progress every second.
Phases
Snapshot → Apply
Two-phase display: first snapshots are saved, then the actual updates are executed.
ETA
Estimated remaining time
Calculated from the first few operation speeds. With 5000 products typically 1-3 minutes.
Cancel
Clean stop at any time
Cancel button stops the operation cleanly. Already processed products stay changed — and are documented in the audit log.
