Change the category of several products at the same time

[ManuelSissl]

I want to change the category of several products at once, I select all the products that I want to change category, I click on option "Update attributes" but I can not find a way to update the category of all the products at the same time. Any ideas? (Magento 2.3.1)

Hi Manuel,

The better way to change Category attributes in bulk, aside from doing so on a spreadsheet, is through Catalog --> Categories.

From here, you can select a category or subcategory. You can then go to the Products In Category section. 

From here, you can remove checkboxes to remove products from a category. You can also change the dropdown toggle from "Yes" to "No" or "Any" to be able to see products that aren't yet in the category, and associate them to the category.

This is your best bet for bulk adding and removing products from categories.

Best of luck!
