Run the brand review across a whole library with one prompt, then wire it to a Quick Step button so every future file gets the same review at the click of a column action.
Takeaway 01
"For each file in this library" is a one-line bulk run — no loops, no scripts.
Takeaway 02
Direct the AI to write the score and the notes into specific columns. That's the audit trail.
Takeaway 03
A Quick Step column turns the bulk prompt into a per-file button you click once per upload.
Running the Skill in Bulk
Instead of running the skill file by file, the narrator asks SharePoint to "perform a brand review of each file in this library." That single instruction iterates across every file, runs the skill, and saves the results. Four sample files come back with a mix of scores; one passes, the others have issues.
"For each file in this library" is the magic phrase. The AI handles iteration; you handle the prompt. That's the difference between a chat session and an operational workflow.
The bulk pattern works for any reusable skill — not just brand review. Once you have a skill that takes one file and returns a structured answer, you can fan it out across an entire library with one sentence.
A common reflex is to run skills one file at a time because "that's how the chat works." But SharePoint's AI iterates automatically when you tell it to — there's no per-file ceremony required.
Writing to a Score Column
The narrator tells the skill exactly where to write: "save the score, just the number, in the brand review score column." That puts the score into a real SharePoint column you can sort, filter, and chart on. A pile of chat responses turns into structured data.
Specifying the target column converts AI output from a transient message into persistent metadata. Suddenly the review results live with the file forever.
"Just the number" is doing work too — it tells the AI not to include text, units, or commentary in the score field. Clean numbers in the score column means clean filters and clean sums later.
Writing Detailed Notes to a Second Column
Alongside the score, the AI writes the full review explanation into a Brand Review Notes column. Same skill run, two outputs, two columns. Now you can sort by score to find failing files and click into any one of them to read the specific notes.
Separating "score" and "notes" into two columns is what makes the system operational. Score drives triage; notes drive action.
The notes contain the actionable feedback — what color was off, what tone was wrong, what photography didn't match. That's what the file owner needs to fix the problem; the score alone wouldn't tell them.
The Quick Step Button
Typing the bulk prompt every time would be tedious. So the narrator adds a Quick Step column — a button-style column that runs a saved prompt on the file you click. The saved prompt is the same brand review instruction, scoped to the single file instead of the whole library.
A Quick Step column converts a typed prompt into a clickable button. Every future file gets reviewed by clicking that button once — no prompt memory required.
Once the column is moved to the front of the view, "review this file" becomes a single click. New files added to the library get the button automatically — no setup per file, no workflow configuration.
Teams sometimes assume you need Power Automate or a custom app to operationalize an AI skill. A Quick Step column gives you a one-click trigger with zero extra services to configure.
