Refine batch with Batch Edit tool
When media is uploaded via batch, it's typically related, so we recommend finalizing asset attributes using the Batch Edit tool. This can be accomplished once media has been uploaded and assets have been created by selecting the assets that were uploaded and then use the Batch Edit option within the toolbar to assign attributes such as section tags, keywords, flags, etc.
