# How to Use

#### Step 1: Install & License

* Install the Bulk CMS Editor inside your Webflow Designer.
* Purchase and activate your license key to start using the app.
* ⚠️ Without a valid license, you will not get editing access. This app does not have a demo version.

#### Step 2: Connect

* Select the CMS collection you want to manage. By default, the first collection is selected, but the user can choose any other collection if desired.

#### Step 3: Browse CMS Items

* All CMS items will appear in a table view.
* Each column represents a different CMS field.

#### Step 4: Edit Items

* Use inline editing to modify any field directly in the table.

#### Step 5: Perform Bulk Actions

* Select multiple items, click the edit icon.
* Choose an action (Publish / Unpublish / Delete) from the toolbar.

#### Step 6: Add a New Item

* Click on the “+ Add Item” button.
* Fill out the form (supports references, multi-references, images, options, etc.).
* Save and publish your new item.

#### Step 7: Copy & Add Items

* Click the Copy icon next to any row.
* A new item will be created from the copied data.

#### Step 8: Import & Export with CSV

* Use the Export button to download all CMS items as a CSV file.
* Use the Import button to upload a CSV file and add/update CMS items.
* During import, map CSV fields to existing CMS fields or create new fields as needed.

#### Step 9: Filter & Search

* Use date filters to view only items created, updated, or published within a specific time range.
* Use the search bar to find items based on their values.
