# Content Export (Word Bulk Updates)

## Some subject matter experts or other reviewers prefer to review content records outside the RocketDocs platform. Additionally, for complete rewrites sometimes it makes sense to complete updates in a single file rather than reviewing records individually, one-by-one. In these instances, you can use the Bulk Updates module to export content records into a single Word document for review. The RocketDocs best practice recommendation is to use the review workflows and tools built into the RocketDocs platform.

1.  To create a bulk update file use the search bar and filters to locate the subset of records that you would like to update. Select the records for export using the check boxes to the left of the content records in the content grid.

2\. Select Export Content from the menu.

3\. You will now be able to name your export, select the order in which you would like to have your content records appear, and any attributes that you would like to include in the export for context.

Please note that you will only be able to edit the responses in the exported Word document. You will not be able to update the questions or any of the attributes.

You will have the option to initiate review on the content records that you are exporting by clicking on the initiate review check box. This will move any content records in the published state to the under review state.

Click yes to begin the export.

4\. When prompted, click yes to be taken to the Bulk Updates module to download your export.

5\. Click the download button next to the name of the file that you created.

![image-20260514-211214.png](https://support.rocketdocs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/confluence-migration/RDSD/1818132483/image-20260514-211214-2.png?width=670&height=106&name=image-20260514-211214-2.png)

 

6\. Edit responses in the exported file and save the resulting file in an easily accessible location.

Please note that the Plain Text Response box can accommodate plain text responses only. Any responses containing graphics, tables, charts or formatting should be placed in the Rich Text box. It is recommended that either the Plain Text Response or Rich Text Response box is used; using both response boxes is not recommended. If both boxes are used, the system will always default to using the Rich Text Response.

7\. Once you have finished updating the responses, navigate back to Bulk Updates and click the Import button next to the name of the file that you wish to import.

![image-20260514-211311.png](https://support.rocketdocs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/confluence-migration/RDSD/1818132483/image-20260514-211311-2.png?width=670&height=75&name=image-20260514-211311-2.png)

 

8\. Click the Choose File button to locate and select the file containing the updated responses. From there you will have the option to elect to update expiration dates on updated content or leave them as is.

If you select YES, expiration dates will be updated using the following methodology: Import Date + Number of Days in Review Cycle = New Expiration Date.

If you select NO, then no changes will be made to the expiration dates.

Click YES to complete the import.

### **📋Tip:**

To facilitate the review process you can:

1. Click Ctr + F in the Word Document you are reviewing to make it easier to navigate within the document.
2. Navigate to Headings in the left side panel. Each heading represents a question in the document.
