SteveKnutson except he's incorrect that you can't edit the Promoted State through the UI. You can. In the list view edit the Promoted State column and change the default value from 2 to 0 and save. Then edit it again and change the default value from 0 to 2 and save. You will find that the Promoted State of all items can now be changed, e.g. in Grid View.

  RobElliott this is not the experience I get. In Quick Edit or Edit in Grid View, Promoted State is a read only column and so cannot be updated.
