### Making bulk edits
Bulk edits are supported by importing a CSV file containing the following columns
Bulk edits are supported by importing a CSV file containing the following columns. Column headers must be lowercase.
1. `Path` - Path to note relative to the vault root folder
2. `Type` - Type of metadata. One of `frontmatter`, `inline_metadata`, or `tag`
3. `Key` - The key to add (leave blank for a tag)
4. `Value` - the value to add to the key

3. `key` - The key to add (leave blank for a tag)
4. `value` - the value to add to the key
Notes which match a Path in the file will be updated to contain ONLY the information in the CSV file. Notes which do not match a path will be left untouched. The example CSV below will remove any frontmatter, inline metadata, or tags within with `vault/folder 01/note1.md` and then add the specified metadata.
An example valid CSV file is

How bulk imports work:
- Only notes which match the path in the CSV file are updated
- Effected notes will have ALL of their metadata changed to reflect the values in the CSV file
- Existing metadata in an effected note will be rewritten. This may result in it's location and/or formatting within the note being changed
- inline tags ignore any value added to the `key` column
You can export all your notes with their associated metadata in this format from the "Export Metadata" section of the script to be used as a template for your bulk changes.
