Bulk linking
Link multiple PDFs to many resources at once to save time.
What bulk linking does
Bulk linking lets you connect PDFs to resources in one operation instead of linking them one by one.
Two types of bulk linking
Many PDFs to one resource - Add multiple PDFs to a single product, page, or collection
One PDF to many resources - Share one PDF across multiple products, pages, or collections
Link many PDFs to one resource
Attach multiple PDFs to a single page:
- From your PDF library, select multiple PDFs using checkboxes
- Click Bulk Actions at the top
- Choose Link to Resource
- Select the resource type
- Search for and select the specific resource
- Click Link All
All selected PDFs link to that resource at once.
Example: Add size chart, care guide, and warranty PDFs to one product
Link one PDF to many resources
Share a PDF across multiple pages:
- From your PDF library, click a single PDF
- Click Bulk Link to Resources
- Select the resource type (products, pages, etc.)
- Select multiple resources using checkboxes
- Click Link to Selected
The PDF links to all selected resources simultaneously.
Example: Link return policy PDF to all products
Filter resources before bulk linking
Use filters to find resources quickly:
- Filter by product type, vendor, or tags
- Filter collections by type
- Search by name
- Sort by date or alphabetically
This helps you select the right resources for bulk operations.
Preview before linking
Before confirming bulk operations:
- Review how many PDFs you selected
- Check how many resources you're linking to
- See the total number of links that will be created
- Confirm or cancel
Bulk linking limits
You can bulk link:
- Up to 50 PDFs at once
- To up to 100 resources at once
- Creating up to 5,000 links per operation
Larger operations process in the background.
Undo bulk linking
If you link incorrectly, you can undo:
- Use bulk unlink to remove all links at once
- Or unlink individually from each resource
- No time limit on unlinking
Tips for efficient bulk linking
Plan first - Know which PDFs go where before starting
Use filters - Narrow down resources before selecting
Test with small batch - Try linking to 2-3 items first
Name PDFs clearly - Makes selection easier
Check preview - Always review before confirming
