Hi! Work is under way to make it cleanly compatible to moodle 5.2 As far as I can see even without any changes it should still work without any issues.
Dr. Nellie Deutsch
I love the massaction plugin. Will there be an upgrade to Moodle 5.2? Thank you.
Philipp Memmel
Hi, it is a block plugin. So in a course enable edit mode, then click on the drawer button on the right side of your screen and click "add block". Select "Mass Actions" from the list. In the right drawer it now will appear and you can use it.

I am using Moodle 4.1.16 (Build: 20250210) and have installed Mass actions (v7.1.4 / 2023072703). Except for the few words above, I cannot see any tutorial on how to use it.
But I have no idea how to find or create the box you illustrate above (far left). A step by step guide is needed for those who have never used a plugin.

@Kim Solis: In the Mass Actions block, are you seeing the button "Enable Bulk editing". Are you turning on Bulk Editing and the checkboxes still don't show up?

I have been successfully using this block in the Edwise format for some time. We recently updated to moodle 4.4 and now it doesn't work. I can add it to a course but then the little check boxes don't appear so I cannot select any items to be deleted, moved, copied or whatever. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Philipp Memmel
It has been made configurable, if the available courses to duplicate to are limited to the courses you are enrolled (default: you have to be enrolled). Unfortunately, there has not been a release yet since the change. However, you can download directly from github (please make sure to use the correct branch) and install it from there.
@Peter Diederichs: This should also answer your question?

Hi Matthew
So happy to see this plugin living and breathing again! It's a game changer.
However, like Peter, I am having issues copying content between courses. I am full site Admin and when I go to Duplicate to another course, the dropdown menu is completely empty.
Any ideas?

I think that this is a great plugin that should be part of Moodle core. Perhaps I am missing something but is it possible to use this plugin for restrictions? That is, in a course with groups, is it possible to mass "Restrict access"?

I'd like to add this very useful block to all course main pages on our site. But how can that be done? Previously, I have added blocks to the site main page (or category level), but Mass action can only be added on course level?
Peter Diedrichs
I mean, find and copy content to any course in the category they are added to,
Peter Diedrichs
This is a great tool for managing courses! Question: Is there a permission to set for Moodle administrators so they can find, and duplicate course content to, courses they are not added to? Our Learning Technicians would like to use this, but they are only added at category level.
Peter Diedrichs
Hi, I am testing this block in an environment where crons are disabled (bu can be manually run). None of the copy options (in the same course, to another course) seem to happen, is this depending on any core cron?
