How to edit multiple posts at the same time

Hey there! I’m on Ghost Pro and have been using it happily for about a month now, since the Concierge service moved me over from my longtime WordPress site.

One of the things I miss about WordPress is the ability to edit multiple posts by opening up a series of posts in different tabs.

I can’t do this in Ghost because for some reason the Ctrl / Cmd / Option keys are disabled, so I can’t open an editing window in a new tab. Instead, I have to click to edit, then return to the list of posts – and if I was working through a long list of posts, I have to scroll down and find where I was before I clicked.

Is there a workaround for this so I can edit groups of posts more efficiently?

You should be able to use your meta click on the edit icon to open posts in a new tab.

If you click on the main list item then you’re multi-selecting posts to bulk edit.

Thanks for the reply, Kevin. I appreciate the pointer. But what’s the edit icon? My list of posts looks like the one shown in that post you linked to – just a list of titles, with a button to the right of each one to see its stats. I can click on the post title to edit it. There doesn’t seem to be anything that, when I right-click on it, I get the option to open in a new tab. Am I missing something?

Hi,
I’m having trouble doing this on a Mac. I can select multiple posts, which are hightlighted as I expect. When I right-click (control-click) I see the pop-up menu, but the selection reverts to a single post and my changes (new tags) are only applied to that one.

Get the same behavior on both Firefox and Chrome. I use right-clicks many times a day in other situations, so it doesn’t seem to be my trackpad settings.

Do you have any suggestions on this?

thanks in advance for any help.

I found the trick to doing this.
Instead of selecting multiple entries with the “command” key, just keep selecting with “control”, even after the floating menu appears.
Not quite intuitive for normal mac behavior, but it works!
