Batch publishing hindrance

As a developer, I sometimes have to publish a large number of articles or other content, but often I cannot, because it is blocked by “invalid elements”, like shown on the screenshot. And then I have to scroll down the list of hundreds of elements, and check each invalid element out manually. This is tiresome. It would be useful to have an option to uncheck all invalid elements instead of one by one. I am on the Content Studio version 5.3.6

Hi Tore.

This is what publishing looks like to me:

As you can see, you may exclude invalid items. Also, you have selected very many individual items for publishing, which is taking up the top of your list. This is why you don’t see the invalid items immediately. As you can see from my screenshot, the problematic items are on top of the list of dependencies.

I am guessing that you cannot easily exclude the invalid items because they are unpublished parents of the items you want to publish? But, hard to tell without seeing the list of dependencies.

Also, it seems you have manually selected to publish a lot of items that are already published? Start by dropping these from your list.
