How can I publish multiple layers from same store in geoserver?

Question

I have more than 2000 shapefiles stored in PostGIS database which are also stored in my geoserver store. I am able to show all the layers in the layer tab by connecting to the store and able to publish individual layers one by one. But I want to publish all the layers from this store. Is this possible to publish all the layers at eh same time? Is there any method?
