 ## File and Folder Patterns
 
-In order to reflect the BDD paradigm in the best way and to support the consistency of the project structure, Testomat.io provides a Folder and File pattern. 
+In order to reflect the BDD paradigm in the best way and to support the consistency of the project structure, Testomat.io provides a Folder and File pattern.
 A suite with tests is considered to be a **file** (like a file with tests in your filesystem).
 A suite that contains other suites is a **folder** (like in a filesystem).
 So the main rule here is **suite can contain only tests or suites but not both**.
 
 ## How to Use Bulk Edit on Suite Level
 
-Your project may contain a huge amount of tests and suites. It's more efficient to edit tests at the suite level. See how it works: 
+Bulk Edit allows you to update an entire suite as a single Markdown document.
+
+Instead of opening tests one by one, you modify all tests directly inside the suite file. This speeds up large-scale updates and keeps test documentation consistent, especially for large regression suites or when multiple tests require the same change.
+
+### Why Use Bulk Edit
+
+In real QA workflows, updates rarely affect only one test. Bulk Edit is ideal for:
+
+- Updating or adding examples across multiple **parametrized tests**
+- Aligning labels, priorities, or tags across a feature area
+- Updating wording after UI changes
+- Refactoring test descriptions
+- Quickly drafting multiple new tests with the same description
+- Applying global text updates with **Change All Occurrences**
+
+By working at the suite level, all changes are applied automatically when the suite is saved, avoiding manual synchronization of individual tests. The editor works with the [Classical Tests Markdown Format](https://docs.testomat.io/project/import-export/export-tests/classical-tests-markdown-format/), where suites and tests are structured as blocks in a single Markdown document.
+
+::: note
+
+Deletions made in Bulk Edit are **not applied when saving** to prevent accidental removals. If you need to delete items, use the regular **multi-select** workflow instead.
+
+:::
+
+### Step-by-Step Guide
+
+1. Navigate to the **Tests** page
+2. Open the suite you want to edit
+3. Click the **'...'** extra menu
+4. Select the **'Bulk edit'**
+

+
+5. The Markdown editor opens, displaying the full suite file
+
+From here, you can modify or create:
+
+- Suite metadata (emoji, overall tags, labels, assignees, etc.)
+- Test metadata (including tags, labels, priorities, assignees, etc.)
+- Test descriptions (steps, expected results, etc.)
+- Examples (parametrized tests)
+- Add a new test - either by clicking **Add Test** (which automatically inserts `<!-- test -->` and a new `##` block) or by writing it manually in the suite file
+
+![All changes in Bulk Edit](./images/att2_541.png)
+
+All changes follow the [Classical Tests Markdown Format](https://docs.testomat.io/project/import-export/export-tests/classical-tests-markdown-format/), so you can learn more about the structure and formatting rules.
+
+### Practical Example: Parametrized Tests
 
-1. Select the test suite you want to edit from the project view.
+**Scenario:** You need to update examples across multiple parametrized tests.
 
-2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the suite name.
+**Without Bulk Edit:** Each test must be opened and updated individually.
 
-3. Choose **Bulk Edit** from the dropdown menu.
+**With Bulk Edit:**
 
-4. Modify the suite content in the YAML editor as needed.
+1. Open the suite in Bulk Edit
+2. Select the parameters (examples) you want to update — they will be highlighted in the editor for easy identification
+3. Use **Change All Occurrences** to apply updates globally
+4. Update the parameters (examples)
+5. Click **Save**
 
-5. Click **Preview** to review the proposed changes.
+All tests instantly reflect the new or updated examples.
 
-6. In the confirmation pop-up, click **Apply Changes** to save your updates.

+Bulk Edit makes managing parametrized tests extremely efficient — whether adding new examples, correcting existing ones, or updating shared datasets.

+### Best Practices
 
-![Apply changes suite level](./images/apply_changes_suite_level.png)
+- Treat the suite file as a single source of truth for related tests
+- Make grouped, logical updates instead of many small edits
+- Review global replacements before saving
+- Keep formatting consistent to ensure correct parsing

+Bulk Edit works best for structured updates affecting multiple tests, rather than small individual corrections.
