How do I change a lot of words at once?
Short answer
Tap Select to enter bulk mode, then pick individual words or select all. From there you can tag, retag, share or clean up a whole group in one go.
Need to manage a whole list at once? Tap Select above the list to enter bulk mode, and Cancel in the top right to leave it again.
A single button under the title selects everything currently in the list, and flips to Deselect all once it has. Filtering and searching are unavailable while you are selecting, so set your filter first if you only want part of the list.
This is perfect for:
- Adding tags to a whole group of words.
- Removing or changing tags.
- Cleaning up your list.
- Sharing words.

The three buttons
The bar that replaces the tab bar has exactly three buttons around a live count, and all three stay dimmed until something is selected.
- Share sends the selection, exactly as above.
- Tags opens an
Edit Tagssheet, where you add tags to everything selected and remove the ones they all share. A tag carried by only some of the selection cannot be removed in bulk. - Delete asks first and names the number. There is no undo afterwards.
