Man-woman relationships Drama duplicates

I would love to be able to batch edit and/or merge authorities. I know that our catalog has many many duplicate authority records, but it is very tedious trying to clean them up. It's also hard to search for them. It would be nice to be able to search for authority records the same way we search for MARC records, and be able to batch edit them the same way too. I'd like to to be able to select all of the duplicate "Man-woman relationships Drama" records at once and be able to merge them, rather than having to select two at a time to merge.

It would also be amazing to be able to export authority records as a CSV.
Comment 2 Tia 2025-02-05 01:08:10 UTC
I see you can do that by exporting catalog data - it would be great if you could do that from the authorities page before or after searching for specific authorities.
