The bulk actions goes hand in hand also with having individual checkboxes per line. So the user would select some entries and than apply the "[Action] All". This would be useful when: * Deleting/Restoring only some pages / children from a wiki / space; * Mass rollback/delete utility (for pages - as above; or even for spam users) * Copy/Move/Rename for pages/attachments from one page/wiki to another * Adding/Removing multiple users to a particular group So the bulk actions can be applied to pages, attachments, users, history, extensions, etc. > > > > > Thanks, > > Caty > > > > > > > +1, this is probably the best solution but also more complicated to do. > > > > > > > > Thanks in advance for your feedbacks. > > > > > > > > Simon > > > > -- > > > > Simon Urli > > > > Software Engineer at XWiki SAS > > > > [email protected] > > > > More about us at http://www.xwiki.com > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Adel > > > >
