Control Panel: Option to move all topics from a category to another

In order to keep the community structure up to date with the needs of the customers (and / or the strategical roadmap for the company), it is sometimes necessary to make changes to the Parent Categories and Categories.

One task that needs to be done when restructuring the content is moving topics in bulk from one Category to another (e.g. when you want to migrate two Categories into one). Currently it is possible to grab up to 50 topics at once and to move these 50 topics to another Category.

Select up to 50 topics at once

As long as there are less than (let’s say) 1.000 topics that need to be moved, it is a task that can be done with a reasonable amount of manual effort. But our community consists of several Categories with tens of thousands topics and moving 50 topics at a time simply isn’t possible in these cases.

The inSided API gives us options to move all the topics at once - but this is a task that only developers can do. We don’t have developers on hand all the time - plus they would also need to invest time in order to learn how to do this task, so it isn’t just a matter of minutes.

That’s why we propose an additional option in the Control Panel that lets a user not only select all (up to 50) topics on the current page but lets them select all topics on all pages in the current list at once. Then the user can do the same actions as always, e.g. moving all the selected topics to another Category.

While I will close this idea, I do want to say we are striving to create new options that will solve this precise problem. Present day solutions are to use MCP or AI agents within the platform to help you take care of these actions.
