When I add a product to the store, it makes me save and publish each product, one at a time, right away.

The format for how I add products has changed this week. Now, when I add a product, it makes me save and publish them one at a time. It takes longer that way. Is that the only way I can add them now?  Before, I was able to add multiple products to the store and wait and publish them all at one time.
