BULK DELETE PROJECTS

Kassie Kuehl

Please create a option for multiple selection for deleting past projects, and/or unpublishing. It's very labersome to do individually. Thanks.

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.

Laura Burkhauser Does this feature also include an option to batch remove downloaded project files? Some of our team members run into storage issues quickly (because we're issued laptops with very limited space.). We don't necessarily want to delete the projects in case we need to come back to them later, but it could be really handy to remove all or many downloaded files at once.

Nice! So, when can we do a batch

copy to Storyboard

Laura Burkhauser

This should be live already in Descript. Go to your workspace and hover on a project. You'll see a checkbox appear to the left of the project. You can select multiple projects. Then right click and you'll see a menu pop up where you can select "Delete projects". Let me know if you run into trouble.

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

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!

Alexander Schwarz

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.
