How can a space owner or admin bulk-label a set of pages?

[MR]

I've found instructions for bulk-labeling pages as a site admin, however, as a space owner I need to be able to select a subset of my pages based upon specific criteria in order to apply a new label for those pages.

How can I go about doing this?

Right now, I only need to do this once, and an API approach is perfectly acceptable.  I'm just not clear if I can do it as a user.  Also, its not likely that I'll be able to have an app accepted by our admin team, its a high bar and costs are heavily scrutinized - unlikely if I'm the only one asking for it.

Hi @MR 

Through the interface, natively, you cannot bulk apply labels.

Some apps allow you to do that, it depends if you are in a one shot action or a recurring one.

You can use this app : label manager 
But several other apps exist : https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=bulk%20labels&product=confluence&hosting=cloud

I'm plenty comfortable using APIs, do you know if this can be done without a site admin user?

@Cyrille Martin after writing my comment I realized that you already suggested apps, including our label manager. Thanks.

It's not obvious but it's one of many bulk editing tools in Space Content Manager, better value for money and less admin burden. Plus without tools like a bulk find and replace the error rate it too high or too easy to miss something, we have all done it, inevitable without proper resources given the number of possible pages impacted.

@MR if you need to do thing on an ongoing basis you need to consider an app, yes it will cost money (sorry) but it will save you lots of time and reduce unintended errors, with luck you will do even more as find app offers features didn't expect.

We made such an app. Label Manager by Easy Apps (it's also part of our suite of bulk editing tools called Space Content Manager). Bulk add, delete and as an admin also merge or rename. Are a couple of other options as well.

@MR never hurts to test new apps in a personal (free) instance. Most apps are free up to 10 users. I get that it needs to be compelling to ask admin/company to consider purchasing. Some apps are, some are not, only way to know is to test.
