# Reclassify organisation types in bulk

Bulk reclassification allows you to reclassify all [organisation](/totara-20/docs/what-are-organisations) items assigned to a particular organisation type to another organisation type.

To bulk reclassify organisation types, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Organisations.*
2. Click **Manage types**.
3. Scroll down to the **Bulk re-classification** section at the bottom of the **Manage types** page.
4. Select the type you wish to reclassify from the dropdown box. This action reclassifies all organisation items that currently have this type assigned to them.
5. On the **Reclassifying** page you can see the number of organisation types to be reclassified.
6. Click **Choose** next to the **Type** you wish to have reclassified.
7. A warning message appears detailing the change.
8. Click **Re-classify items**.

The items have now been reclassified.
