Bulk editor

The bulk editor is very useful if you want to quickly bulk edit SEO titles and descriptions for all your posts and pages. In the bulk editor, you’ll find two overviews: one overview where you can edit the SEO titles of each post or page on your site, and one overview where you can edit the meta descriptions of all of the posts or pages.

For example, on the title tab, you’ll find an overview of all the posts and pages on your site, with information about your post or page and a field where you can enter the new SEO title for that specific post or page. Every post or page is on a separate row, so you can edit the SEO titles of all of your posts and pages easily in one overview.

However, if you really want to optimize your posts and pages, we’d suggest you go into the individual posts and pages and optimize them in the Yoast SEO meta box, using the feedback Yoast SEO gives you for that specific post or page. The bulk editor is really meant for bulk editing just the SEO title and meta description for a lot of your posts or pages in a short amount of time.
