Bulk Operations

User Perspective

Bulk operations allow users to apply a metadata change to many videos at once — without pushing to YouTube individually. Changes go through a preview → confirm flow.

Supported Bulk Actions

Set Privacy Status — change privacy on all/selected videos
Assign Template — apply a template to multiple videos
Add Tags — append tags without replacing existing ones
Remove Tags — remove specific tags from videos
Search & Replace in Title — find and replace text in video titles

Push Pending Bulk Sync

The "Push Pending" feature batch-syncs all videos with pending changes to YouTube. Accessible via the Push Pending tab. Users preview field-level diffs before confirming.

Rollback

Completed bulk jobs can be rolled back from the Bulk Jobs page (/bulk-jobs). Rollback restores the beforeSnapshot values for each affected video.

Bulk Job Lifecycle

PENDING → DRY_RUN → CONFIRMED → RUNNING → DONE (or FAILED / ROLLED_BACK)

Developer Perspective

Backend

Module: backend/src/modules/bulk-jobs/
Endpoints: GET /bulk-jobs, GET /bulk-jobs/:id, POST /bulk-jobs/:id/rollback, GET /bulk-jobs/push-pending/preview, POST /bulk-jobs/push-pending
Header bulk change: The Header component's "Bulk Change" modal calls POST /bulk-jobs/preview (via bulkPreview() in api.ts) and POST /bulk-jobs/apply

Job Processing

The bulk-metadata.processor.ts processor:

Loads BulkJob with all BulkJobItem records
For each item: saves beforeSnapshot, applies change, saves afterSnapshot
Updates successCount / errorCount on job
On completion: sets status = DONE and completedAt

Data Model

BulkJob — one per operation. Has type, filterSnapshot, rollbackData
BulkJobItem — one per video. Has beforeSnapshot, afterSnapshot, status
