Massive keywording problem

[dianecmac]

Help! I just made a keywording change to one image and then was horrified to learn that I had applied those keywords to every single image in my portfolio - including of course my best sellers. Is there any way to go back, or do I have to start over? I  have sent a request forhelp  to Adobe too.

I am very sorry for that!  I have no clue how to help, or even understand how that happend.

Perhaps you could be a hero and help us avoid that.

Well, this is very strange. When I clicked on every image, each one had the
identical keywords. I edited out of Microsoft Edge and logged in on Chrome
and all the old keywords are intact! Mercifully, it looks like I saved the
day by panicking and exiting! I obviously didn’t save anything. Pure. The
one time when not saving saved the day!

You realize that any edits made from your client-side browser are temporary, right?  As soon as you exit or refresh the page (Ctrl+R or F5), all edits are lost. Nothing is committed to the server until it's actually published there. 

I still don't know what you think you were doing with keywords, though. Keywords are stored in Stock's database, not Adobe Portfolio.

I don't see how that's possible. Once an asset is live in your portfolio, the only way to change keywords is one image at a time. Can you describe how you managed to make this change to all images simultaneously?

Adobe is very unlikely to help you with this issue. Did you upload these images using some kind of automated program?

[Nancy OShea]

I assume Ctrl + Z (undo) has no effect. 

If so, you'll have to undo whatever you did manually.

Note to self: DO NOT use automated tools for key wording assets. Nothing good can come from it.
