# OnStation Bulk Flag Update: Faster Group Editing Tools
## Master Your Flags-Introducing OnStation’s New Bulk Flag Update Feature
OnStation just made managing large groups of flags *dramatically* easier. With the new **Bulk Flag Update** tool—available exclusively to users with a **Capture or Data License**—you can edit multiple flags at once, clean up your map faster, and keep your project data sharp and up‑to‑date with just a few taps.
If you work with lots of flags, this update is a game‑changer.
---
#### **Where to Find the Bulk Flag Update Tool**
You can access the new feature in **two quick ways**:
### **1. From the Flag menu**
- Open the **Flag menu** at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap either the Select all or Select flags option. Then Tap Edit to edit the flags
- This method takes you directing the map details editor.
### **2. Tap & Hold Any Individual Flag**
- Press and hold a flag on the map.
- A **Bulk Update menu** will appear, allowing you to jump right into selecting flags.
---
#### **Three Ways to Select Flags via method 2**
Once bulk mode is active, you can choose flags using whatever method works best for your workflow via the selection menu bar:
### **▶ Select All **
Perfect for quick updates:
- Tap **Select All** to highlight every flag currently displayed on the map.
### **▶ Draw an Area**
Great for location-based editing:
- Use your finger to **draw a boundary** around the zone you want to include.
- All flags inside the shape will be added to the group.
### **▶ Tap Individual Flags**
For precise control:
- Tap any flag to add it to the selection.
And if you want to **unselect** one?
Just tap it again—the flag will turn **yellow**, clearly showing it’s been deselected.
---
#### **What You Can Edit in Bulk**
Once your group is selected, you can adjust multiple data points at the same time, including:
- **Hazard Status**
- **Flag Icon**
- **Notes** (quickly attach the same note to all selected flags)
- **Tags** (add or organize project tagging with one command)
- **Share Options** (send grouped details out in one batch)
This makes project cleanup, safety reviews, tagging, and communication far faster and more consistent.
---
#### **Why This Matters**
Whether you’re organizing a crowded map, updating hazard zones after a site walk, or standardizing flags during a team handoff, the new Bulk Flag Update feature saves time, reduces taps, and ensures the entire crew sees accurate information across devices.
