If you've been a People admin for a while, you've probably accumulated a few resources: dozens of lists for different ministries, workflows that have been running for years, and forms that have piled up over seasons of events and signups. Managing access to all of those resources, finding the ones that need attention, or cleaning up what you no longer need has meant a lot of clicking around.

Today, all three of those tasks get a lot easier: a redesigned table experience and a new set of bulk actions for editing multiple resources at once.

A familiar new table

Lists, workflows, and forms now show the same details in same layout as the People table.

 A few interactive improvements you'll notice:

  • Quick filters at the top: the same filters you had before (My cards, Starred lists, etc.) plus a new  “Needs attention” filter for lists and workflows.

  • Sortable columns: sort by name, counts, or any other column.

  • A new filter sidebar: filters tuned to each resource — find lists with automations or auto-refresh enabled, or workflows that need attention. Your selections persist across sessions.

  • Search that respects your filters: search now runs within whatever filters are applied.

  • Row actions: an Actions menu on each row gives quicker access to settings or automation tabs without having to open the resource first.

Bulk actions

The redesigned table also unlocks something you've been asking for: the ability to act on many resources at once. You can now select multiple resources and:

  • Grant or remove access for individual admins or groups

  • Archive or unarchive workflows and forms

  • Delete resources you no longer need

Bulk actions are available to admins with manage permission on the resources they're acting on. 

For access changes, the permission level you choose replaces existing permissions across all selected resources. So if a user is a viewer on some workflows and you bulk-grant them "Manage," they’re promoted to manager across all of them in one step. The same logic applies if you’re downgrading or removing someone’s access.

Where this helps

A few of the situations we've heard from you about:

  • Onboarding new staff: Grant a new ministry coordinator access to all the lists, workflows, and forms relevant to their role in bulk.

  • Reorganizing teams: Re-share resources with the right groups when ministries restructure or campuses split.

  • End-of-season cleanup: Archive last year's event forms or workflows at once so your active list stays focused on what's current.

  • Spotting what needs attention: Use the new filters to quickly find lists or workflows in an unhealthy state, then handle them in bulk.

We hope this makes managing your People resources feel a lot less tedious, especially as your church grows. If there are other bulk actions you'd love to see, or other places in People where one-at-a-time work is wearing you down, we'd love to hear about it.
