Introduction
Uploading files one at a time is tedious. It gets worse when each one needs its own settings configured individually.
Bulk resource upload lets you upload multiple files at once and apply settings across all of them in a single step. You skip the repetitive admin work and end up with a cleaner, more consistent resource library.
What’s New: Resource Bulk Upload
Bulk Upload introduces a faster, more efficient way to manage your resources.
-
Upload multiple resources in one action
-
Apply folders, permissions, and expiry dates during upload
-
Keep resource settings consistent across all files
-
Reduce repetitive setup for each individual resource
This update makes it easier to organise and maintain your resource library from the moment files are added.
How This Solves a Common Problem
Uploading resources one by one can slow down your workflow—especially when dealing with large batches of documents. It also increases the risk of inconsistent settings, such as incorrect permissions or missing expiry dates.
Bulk resource upload removes this friction by allowing you to handle everything in one go. Instead of repeating the same steps multiple times, you can upload and configure resources together, ensuring consistency while saving valuable time.
How Customers Use This in Practice
Bulk Upload is designed for real-world use, particularly for admin and operational teams managing resource libraries.
Common use cases include:
-
Uploading onboarding documents for new staff or clients
-
Adding compliance or safety documents in bulk
-
Updating multiple resources with the same expiry date
-
Organising large batches of files into structured folders
This allows teams to move quickly without compromising on organisation or accuracy.
Why This Matters for Growing Teams
As your business grows, so does the number of resources you need to manage. Handling these individually can create bottlenecks and increase admin overhead.
Bulk resource upload helps teams scale more efficiently by:
-
Reducing time spent on repetitive tasks
-
Maintaining consistency across all resources
-
Making it easier to manage large file libraries
-
Supporting faster onboarding and updates
It’s a simple change that delivers meaningful improvements in day-to-day operations.
