batch-edit

Change many simultaneously

Batch-edit means to modify multiple files, images, or data entries simultaneously rather than one at a time.

The term appears in software contexts where repetitive changes would be tedious to apply individually: I need to batch-edit these photos to resize them all.

The hyphenated form functions as both verb and adjective: batch-edit mode, batch-edit function.
