Title: Updating all entries URIs after changing entry URL format
ThreadText: # Updating all entries URIs after changing entry URL format
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-06-22)
  
  After publishing some entries, I've changed the section setting "Entry URL Format" from news/{slug} to news/{id} but I had to re-save every entry to reflect the change.
  Is there a better and fast way to update all entries URIs after changing the entry URL format?

  The entries won't immediately get updated, as it could take a little while to go through all of them, but you should see a little progress bar in your CP header immediately after updating your section's settings, and if you click on it, it will give you more details -- saying that a "Resave Elements" background task is running. Once that has completed, your entries will have new URLs.
  
  In my case, it was not working as indented with localised entries but thankfully that was fixed on build 2562.

  For anyone wondering what's going on with a background update, look at the database, there's a table called `tasks`, and each row has a `steps` counter to tell you how many records are left to update. You can refresh the table to see how the updates are progressing.
