# How to change the status of a list of jobs

## Applies to: all SkillsTrust platform users

You can change the status of several jobs at once, for example when you are organising your job architecture for review.

### **Solution overview**

To change the status of several jobs, go to the **Job Catalogue** tab, enable bulk edits, select the jobs, then choose **Change Status** from the **Actions** menu.  

#### **Step 1:  Enable bulk edits**

1. On the **Job Profiles** page, find the menu icon (the 3 lines) in the top right, next to the **New Job** button. Click it to open the options: **Import, Export** and **Enable Bulk**.

2. Select **Enable Bulk**. This adds a checkbox to the left of each job.

#### **Step 2: Select jobs and change the status**

1. Tick the checkbox next to each job you want to change. You can select as many as you need. A count appears at the top left, for example "3 jobs selected".

   Two options appear: 
     1. **Change Status**: updates the status for all selected jobs.
     2. **Change Family:** moves all selected jobs to a different job family.
3. Select **Change Status**.

4. Choose the status you want to assign from the drop-down menu, then select **Apply**.

5. A **Changing Status** dialog shows the progress and confirms each job has been updated. When it reads **Done** and every job shows **Success**, click **Close**.
