# How long does it take to complete a bulk edit task?

Task duration depends on the number of products being updated.

Most bulk edit tasks are completed within a few minutes, but larger tasks involving thousands or tens of thousands of products may take longer. The processing time depends on:

✔ The number of products in the task\
✔ The type of edits being made (e.g., price updates vs. description edits)\
✔ Shopify’s system speed and queue

#### **How to Speed Up Bulk Edit Tasks**

* Break large edits into smaller tasks (e.g., edit 5,000 products at a time instead of 20,000).
* Avoid running multiple large tasks back-to-back
* Run tasks during non-peak hours for faster processing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.samita.io/bulk-price-editor-sami/faqs/how-long-does-it-take-to-complete-a-bulk-edit-task.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
