How to Bulk Assign Course Groups in LearnDash

The Bulk Edit tool allows you to update multiple courses at once, saving you the hassle of editing them one by one. You can edit all items, selected items, or items based on a specific search.

Select the courses you’ll edit

To select the courses you will edit, you have two options:

Option 1 – If you want to select specific courses to edit them at once, you can use the checkbox picker.

Option 2 – You can use the Search tool to filter courses by category, tag, group, price, access mode, etc.

In this example, we will search for courses by category, so we need to enter the category name in the Enter course categories field and click on Run search.

Once you run the search, you’ll see all the courses matching the search terms displayed in the spreadsheet; you can view the search filters above the spreadsheet.

Assign groups to all the selected courses

After selecting the courses to update, open the Bulk Edit tool.

Set the following options in the Bulk Edit tool to bulk assign course groups:

• Select the rows that you want to update: What you select here will depend on your selection mode.
• What field do you want to edit: Course Groups
• Select type of edit: Set value
• Replace existing value with this value: Add the desired group(s).
• Click on Execute Now.

With these steps, you can efficiently assign course groups to hundreds or thousands of LearnDash courses in minutes.
