Hey - this is my bad. It's live in staging (a version of Descript available to employees) but not public yet because there are edge cases where unexpected behavior can happen which is really dangerous for delete actions. We'll try to get this out as soon as we can.

Nice! So, when can we do a batch

copy to Storyboard

Laura Burkhauser I still see only a move option, no delete with multiple projects

J D

Alexander Schwarz Good point. And when can we do a batch

copy to Storyboard

This is going to be a big help.

J D

Laura BurkhauserAlexandre is correct. I only see move as well. Are some other features in progress? (Have a need to do copy to storyboard and then also batch delete the classic projects)

Sincere apologies to everyone in this thread - this feature was announced prematurely. It is arriving in v77.

Alexander Schwarz

Gabe Michalski: Bulk move is there in v77, but still no bulk delete...

This was added in v76!

Gabe Michalski: I'm on v76.1.0 but I don't see any tick boxes

Tiago

Gabe Michalski: The checkboxes don't appear on version 76.1.0 (web or mac version).

Gabe Michalski

Tiago: are you on the Projects view? The tick boxes only appear on the Drive Workspace or Private Workspace (because there may be multiple drives represented on the main "Projects" view:)

Gabe Michalski I'm on v86.0.0 and there's _definitely_ still no bulk delete option (web or Mac). Bulk move... yes. Bulk delete... no.

Another tool I use (dubb.com) allows to set an expiration date for each recording. That's an interesting way to solve similar issues.

Jamie Howard

I agree! This is my least favorite feature of a product I really love.

Alexander Schwarz

This would be really helpful. Current recommendation is to use a project for each production, which means I end up with lots of projects. Bulk delete would be really helpful.

I would love this. Also moving multiple projects at once to a folder

Propane

YES - and enabling the command-bar on the project view to move the selected ones to a folder
