A bulk revision allows a user to make changes to multiple certificates at once. This method may be utilized when an Insured or Holder requests an update to a group of certificates.
To download a comprehensive step-by-step walkthrough, click HERE.
This guide will walk you through the process of revising a single certificate.
For purpose of this walkthrough, we will imagine the revision request is asking for 30-day Notice of Cancellation verbiage to be added to all certificates issued for a specific Holder.

Starting a Bulk Revision from the Bulk Revisions Page
To begin a bulk revision from the Bulk Revisions Page, click the “Certificates” dropdown on the left menu, and then click “Revisions”, or click the “Revisions” tab within the Certificate Manager.
Selecting the Certificates to Revise
You will be prompted to select the Named Insured and enter a name for your bulk revision.
You will also be provided a list of Holders that you can choose from that have had a certificate issued for the selected Named Insured.
After filling out the fields, click “Create Bulk Revision” to proceed.
The next screen will confirm all the certificates pulled for the bulk revision based on the criteria in the previous prompt.
You can select to revise each certificate that populated individually by clicking the Actions dropdown menu on the far right and selecting “Revise”.
You can also select two or more of the certificates that populated to revise at a time or select all by clicking the upper left box to include all certificates that populated in the edit.
After selecting multiple certificates to revise, click the “Batch Actions” dropdown menu on the far right and select “Edit"

Revising and Saving the Changes
Single Certificate Editor
If you have selected to revise a certificate that populated within the bulk revision individually, you will follow the same revision steps as the single certificate revision.
Revising individual certificates during a bulk revision will allow you to issue the certificate in bulk with the rest of the certificates.
After completing the revision to the certificate, instead of “Review”, you will be able to Save the changes.
Clicking “Save” will take you back to the Bulk Revision certificates selector.
Bulk Editor
If you have selected multiple certificates to revise at one time and use the Batch Actions option to edit, you will be brought to the Bulk Editor.
Within the Bulk Editor, you can revise the following items of the certificates by clicking on the corresponding tab for that section.
In our example, the requestor has asked for 30-day Notice of Cancellation verbiage to be added to the DOO for all certificates.
To update this, click the tab for “Description of Operations”.
You can either select to append the DOO for all selected certificates or replace the verbiage in the DOO for all selected certificates.
Depending on which you selected, you will receive one of the below messages at the bottom of the editor advising what that selection entails.
You can also utilize the verbiage already established in your agency’s Language Library.
Select the verbiage and click “Add Description of Operations”.
Confirm the verbiage added to the DOO.
Click “Save Edits” to save the changes to the selected certificates.
If you need to make additional edits, you can select another tab and proceed with your bulk revision edits.
When you are ready to proceed with issuing, click “Complete Bulk Edit” to return to the bulk jobs and certificate list.
Back to Top
Reviewing and Issuing the Bulk Revision
To proceed with issuing the bulk revision certificates, click “Issue All” in the upper right corner.
You will receive a prompt that indicates how many certificates are going to be issued.
If any certificates have previous distribution instructions that were added at the original issuance, this will be indicated in the prompt as well.
You’ll also be asked if you want to download a copy of the certificates, send via email according to the mid-term distribution, and exclude the endorsement attachments.
Click “Issue” to proceed with issuance.

Edit or Cancel a Bulk Revision in Progress
Within the Certificate Manager, a calendar icon will display on any certificates that are part of a bulk job.
Hovering over the calendar icon will also advise of the bulk job.
These certificates will be unable to be edited or included in another bulk job until the current one is completed or cancelled.
If you had to leave your bulk job for any reason, you can return the same way it was initially started.
Upon re-entering the saved bulk revisions, you will be prompted to cancel the bulk job if it is no longer needed, or to view to continue with the bulk job.
If you selected to cancel the bulk job, you will receive a confirmation prompt.
Click “Yes” to proceed with cancelling and you will be brought back to your Certificate Manager.
