Review notes
- The source article is a release note and does not provide a detailed step-by-step workflow for Batch Editing or video as an object, so the usage steps were kept conservative.
- No rollout details, plan restrictions, or permissions were provided in the source, so availability is stated only at a high level.
- The original article includes multiple update items across two dates; the rewrite groups them into one release update for clarity.
