# How to bulk edit multiple products at a time

### Overview

Admins and managers

All plans

### This article walks you through the process of editing information for multiple items at once with the Bulk actions tool on the web app.

 

1. In the left navigation panel, go to **Inventory** and select** Inventory items.**
2. Check the checkboxes to the left of each product you want to update.
3. Click the **Actions** button at the top of the Items list and select **Set Vendors,** **Set Size, Set Units/Case, Set Tag**.
4. Depending on what you are updating either select the vendor or input the size, units and container (all three are required), the units in a case, or a Tag and click the Save button.

**Important Tip**: You can **select all** applicable products by checking the top checkbox in the gray header row of the items table. This *select all* checkbox obeys any filters you have set above the table. For example, if you filter by *Type: Wine* and click to select all checkboxes, only wines will be selected and updated. Since wines and spirits often come in uniform sizes, this is a quick way to bulk assign sizes for every product in your inventory very quickly.
