Bulk Updates is a feature that allows for multiple pieces of documentation to have updates made to them at one time. Enabling bulk updates in your lab class gives you the ability to Approve, Reject, Return, and add comments to many labs at one time.
Warning: Using bulk updates can be efficient for making simultaneous changes, but it carries the risk of unintended consequences or errors due to the wide-ranging impact of the updates.
