Hello,
is there a possibility to edit multiple books at the same time, e.g. adding keywords?

Thanks for your answers in advance!

You can use your Power Edit function—the lightning bolt button—in the "Your books" page anytime you need to update tags, Collections, perform mass deletions, etc. You can't do everything with it, so it's limited.

Check out our HelpThing for detailed instructions: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/HelpThing:Your_Books/Power_Edit, and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Some things can be edited that way, including tags. There is a power edit in your catalogue - the lightning icon, Don't forget to close the power edit when done. Otherwise it can cause strange behavior
