Performing bulk actions on Apple News Articles

As you work on Apple News Articles, you can publish them individually using the Quick Create widget as described in Publishing an article to Apple News. However, you also have the option to publish several articles at once using the Bulk Create In Apple News option.

To use the Bulk Create In Apple News feature:

1. Open the search panel and search for Apple News Articles.
2. Select the box next to each article you want to create in Apple News.
3. Click more_horiz in the upper right corner of the search panel.
4. From the menu that expands, click Bulk Create In Apple News.
   

   

5. Review the chosen Apple News Articles, and click Confirm to proceed with the bulk creation.

This kicks off the bulk creation event and a message is displayed. The message has a link that allows you to view the status of this event and address any issues that may occur.

After clicking the link you are taken to the Apple News Article Bulk Actions Event: Create page. This page has three tabs, Main, Job Status, and Translations.

• The Main tab provides an overview of the job, such as when the job was initially queued, who queued it, and what the current status is for this job.
• The Job Status tab provides detailed information about the creation job. Here you can see which articles were successfully created, failed creation, or are still pending creation. You can also click the link to the individual Apple News Articles to view a status page for each article in this process.
• The Translations tab lists any translation events that may be associated with the Apple News Article creation.

After you have created articles in Apple News, you have the ability to make bulk changes to those articles using the Bulk Update In Apple News feature. Updates are made to the actual Apple News Articles in Brightspot, and then pushed to Apple News in one batch.
