It would be great to be able to select multiple videos from the Captures tab and do a Bulk Action of Publishing to a specific course section. We often have videos that are in an instructor's library that need to be moved to a section. I can currently only do this individual video by video.

Hey Erin! Our institution uses the clone feature for admins otherwise we were doing the same before we implemented this as a process. We started doing this before the pandemic, we were thankful we had that in place before everything went haywire.
We have a course request form that faculty must fill out each semester. One of the questions asks about cloning a previous section. They fill in the required fields as appropriate requesting their section(s) to be cloned for a new section for the current (we also don't allow out of term access).
Here is the support guide for admins for ease of reference - https://support.echo360.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035405211-EchoVideo-Cloning-Sections-for-Admins
Then, this is the article for instructors to prepare their section for cloning https://support.echo360.com/hc/en-us/articles/11077413183373-EchoVideo-Preparing-for-Section-Cloning
This is working well for our institution. 🙂

Hi Katie,
Thanks for sharing! We use cloning sometimes too for term to term sections, although we end up having to delete the section that is auto-created so that we can clone, which is a bit of a pain but doesn't waste too much time. The situation that I need the bulk move for is when instructors place their videos directly into their library and I need to move them into a section. Many times, they already have several videos in the already-created section, so what I want is to be able to bulk move several other videos from their library into a section.
