When you need to recategorize a bunch of products at the same time, the bulk update tool saves you from clicking through each one individually. This comes in handy after a chart of accounts restructure, when your accountant asks you to consolidate categories, or when you realize a whole group of items landed in the wrong bucket during onboarding.
Changing a product’s category affects how it appears in Garde reports going forward. Most reports reflect the current category, not the one assigned at the time of purchase. For the full rundown, see How to Change a Product’s Category in Garde.
Here’s how to do it:

​
1. Go to Products > View All Products

​
2. Select the products you want to update

Use the checkboxes to pick individual products, or select all visible products at once with the checkbox at the top.

​
3. Click “Update Products” and choose “Update Category”

​
4. Select the new category

​
5. Click “Update Category” to confirm

That’s it. All selected products now belong to the new category.
Use the category and category type filters at the top of the Products page to narrow things down before selecting. It’s much easier than scrolling through your entire product list.
