Use workflow to batch transition items
With batch transitions, you can select multiple items of the same item type and transition them to a different workflow status.
Important
All items that you transition must be in the same state. For example, you might batch transition all "In Progress" items to a "Complete" status, but you can't select both "In Progress" and "Proposed" items for batch transition.
To use workflow to batch transition items:
Select the project, folder, or set that contains the items you want to transition and view them in List View. Select the items you want to transition, then select Actions > Batch transition.
In the Batch Transition Workflow window, confirm your item selection, choose the status, add a comment, then select Commit.
Your comment appears in the version history of the item and as an activity in the stream.
A batch transition is the only way to add a version or notification comment.
The status change is shown for each item you transitioned.
