Is there a way to bulk edit the category for a large number of topics in the admin settings? I’m trying to put a lot of uncategorised topics into a different category using the admin screen.

Yes there is a bulk way of changing topic categories 🎉

1. Look for the list icon on the top left and press it ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/2/a2b2114b1cd6c42f00a381b0509c872cfb2c62f6.png)
