# Assign Albums to Multiple Images

You can assign albums to multiple images at once using the bulk actions available in the Gallery.

1. Make sure the images you want to update have been uploaded to the gallery.
2. From the **Gallery** page, use the faint checkboxes over the image thumbnails to select the images you want to update.
3. A **Bulk Actions** panel will appear near the bottom of the screen. Click **Actions**, then select **Manage Albums**.
4. The **Manage Albums** popup will appear. Select the albums you want to assign to the selected images.
5. Choose how you want to apply the album changes:
   - **Add to Existing** — Adds the selected albums while keeping any albums already assigned to the images.
   - **Replace All Albums** — Removes the images from their existing albums and assigns only the albums you selected.
6. Click **Update**.
7. A confirmation popup will appear showing the number of images that will be updated. Click **Update** to confirm.

The selected albums will now be assigned to all of the images you selected.
