Overview
If you have a large number of pending schema suggestions in an OTTO project that you want to remove all at once — for example, because they are outdated or no longer relevant — you can use the bulk action bar in the schema suggestions table to delete multiple selected suggestions at once. This article explains how to do that and what to expect.
Bulk Delete for Schema Suggestions
OTTO's schema suggestions table includes a bulk action bar that lets you delete multiple selected schema suggestions at once directly from the UI. If you run into any issues, the support team can also assist.
How to Request Bulk Removal of Pending Schema Suggestions
To get your pending schema suggestions removed, follow these steps before contacting support so your request can be processed without unnecessary back-and-forth:
-
Do not manually delete suggestions one by one if you have a large volume. This is time-consuming and unnecessary — the support team can handle bulk removal on your behalf.
-
Identify the OTTO project where the pending schema suggestions need to be removed. Note the exact project name or the website domain it is associated with (for example, example.com).
-
Confirm the scope of removal. Decide whether you want all pending schema suggestions removed, or only suggestions of a specific schema type (for example, only FAQ or Product schema suggestions). Having this clear before you write in speeds up the process.
-
Contact the support team using the chat widget below and include:
- The exact name of the OTTO project (domain or project label as it appears in your dashboard)
- Whether you want all pending schema suggestions removed, or a specific subset
- A brief reason the suggestions are outdated or no longer needed (optional but helpful for the support agent)
-
Wait for confirmation from the support team. Once the backend action is completed, the agent will confirm that the pending schemas have been cleared from your project. This typically happens within the same support session.
Tips for Managing Schema Suggestions Going Forward
- Review schema suggestions regularly so they do not accumulate to a point where bulk removal is needed.
- When evaluating individual schema suggestions, review the guidance available within the platform to understand whether a suggestion is appropriate for your site before accepting or dismissing it.
- If you have questions about which schema types are most beneficial for your site, reach out to the support team for guidance.
