From Search Transactions, in the Transactions menu, it is possible to edit multiple transactions at once. 

From the search results, an Edit All column allows you to select multiple transactions to edit (using the checkbox) or to edit all transactions by selecting the checkbox in the Edit All column header. 

When you have selected one or more transactions, the Mass Edit icon and the number of transactions to be edited display in the selections bar.
