# Bulk actions

On pages where you can view lists of metadata items, you may also see the "Bulk Actions" button at the bottom of the page.

### What can I do with Bulk Actions?  <a href="#what_can_i_do_with_bulk_actions" id="what_can_i_do_with_bulk_actions"></a>

Performing bulk actions means just that, it allows you to select multiple items and perform different actions on them.

An example from a search results page:

You will notice a little tick box in the upper left hand corner of each search result. <br>

You can also select this box to select all the search items.

Ticking those boxes will add them to the items you are performing the bulk actions on.
