# Add labels to many Confluence pages at once

To add labels to many Confluence pages at once, run a search in Capable Search, select **Bulk Change** in the footer and tick the pages. Open the **Change N pages** menu, choose **Add labels**, type the labels separated by commas or new lines and select **Add labels**. Existing labels stay on each page.

## Before you start

| **You need**                 | **Why**                                                                 |

## Steps

1. Open Capable Search: select **Capable Search** in the space sidebar or the Apps menu (in the Suite, **Capable**, then **Search**).
2. Run a search that finds the pages you want to change.
3. Select **Bulk Change** in the footer under the table.
4. Tick each page you want to change.
5. Open the **Change N pages** menu and select **Add labels**.
6. In **Labels (comma or newline separated)**, type the labels, for example `marketing, q4, weekly`.
7. Select **Add labels** and wait for every page to finish.

## What happens next

Each page gets the new labels alongside the ones it already has. Bulk Change cannot remove labels; to remove one, open the page in the side panel and edit its **Labels** row.
