Then load it and commit.</P> <P> </P> <span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="kiwi_0-1675952935900.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47744iC9952729ECDB73CB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="kiwi_0-1675952935900.png" alt="kiwi_0-1675952935900.png" /></span> <P> </P> <P>XML is your friend! Just make sure you are using a real editor like Notepad++ or SublimeText</P> <P> </P> <P>Alternatively, you can use the GUI and hold down control and tick the check boxes next to the address to select multiple address. You can also select the first object at the top of the page, then select the last object using the shift key to select all the items on the page.</P> <P> </P> <P><MARK>Note: One remark on the Click-Shift-Click method — don't do this on the tick-boxes, as it doesn't work there. Do this on the Name field (do not click on the name but on the empty space beside the name). If you do this, you can click-shift-click to select all.</MARK></P> <P> </P> <span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="kiwi_1-1675953529592.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47746i00A2EDE67FE0A280/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="kiwi_1-1675953529592.png" alt="kiwi_1-1675953529592.png" /></span> <P> </P> <P> </P> </DIV> Thu, 09 Feb 2023 14:57:53 GMT kiwi 2023-02-09T14:57:53Z Nominated Discussion: Delete All Address Objects https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-articles/nominated-discussion-delete-all-address-objects/ta-p/530489 <P> </P> <DIV id="ConnectiveDocSignExtentionInstalled" data-extension-version="1.0.4"> </DIV> Thu, 09 Feb 2023 14:57:53 GMT https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-articles/nominated-discussion-delete-all-address-objects/ta-p/530489 kiwi 2023-02-09T14:57:53Z
