How to edit a single work, and how to change many works at once with multi-editing.

Note: this video was recorded in the previous WrkLst interface. Some screens look different in WrkLst 10.

Editing a single work

Open the work and change what you need. Because everything in WrkLst hangs off the work record — images, documents, exhibitions, consignments, shipments, holds and sales — keeping it accurate is what makes the rest of the system trustworthy.

Multi-editing

Multi-editing applies the same change to a group of works in one operation. It is the right tool whenever the same correction or update applies across many records: a location change after a rehang, a credit line that needs standardising, a price adjustment across an artist's work, or a batch of records imported with the same missing field.

Build the group first using filter, search or the basket — see Inventory, Filter/ Search Feature, and Selections Tool — then apply the edit to everything in it.

A word of caution

Multi-editing is fast, which is exactly why it is worth checking the selection before you commit. Make sure the works in front of you are the works you meant to change.
