ACCESS BULK ACTIONS

To access bulk actions, navigate to an Asset Results page by selecting a category, featured category, asset file type or utilize the search feature. 

If needed, modify the results by utilizing the Filters menu (Fig. 1) on the top-right side of the page until the desired assets are accessible on the Asset Results page.
