# Bulk Properties
An [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) plugin that lets you bulk edit a property across multiple files in your vault.
An [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) plugin that lets you bulk edit properties on, or delete, multiple files in your vault.
This plugin uses a checkbox property (default: `selected`) to track which files are selected. Check the box on the files you want to edit, run the command, and update a property across all of them at once. Works well with Obsidian Bases, where the selection property can be displayed as a checkbox column.

**Note:** The plugin operates on all files in the vault that have the selection property checked, not just files visible in a particular Base. Make sure to uncheck the selection property on files you don't want to modify.
