What are bulk actions?
Bulk actions allow you to manage RyderShip entities (items, orders, returns, etc) more easily, including updating several entities at the same time. Bulk actions allow you to do these updates in a safe and validated way.
Best practices to use bulk actions
Before running a bulk action, it’s a good idea to save your search by creating a snapshot. See Search Filters and Edit a Search Owned by Someone Else for more information.
