Bulk Saving of Edits#

You can now take advantage of CloudCannon's bulk saving of edits. Make multiple edits across pages, files, and collections and save them all simultaneously in a single batch. CloudCannon records your edits as you go, allowing you to save them all in one click. This means you only need to wait for your site to build once.
