# Getting started

## 🏁 Start to edit with a new task

In the context of the Bulk Price Editor Sami app, a **task** refers to a predefined operation that automates the process of modifying specific attributes of multiple products in your Shopify store simultaneously.

By setting up a task, you can efficiently update product details such as titles, prices, descriptions, statuses, and compare-at prices, saving valuable time and ensuring consistency across your product listings.

Follow these steps to create a new bulk edit task.&#x20;

Steps to manage

1\. Open the app  > Click **Create task** button > Select one of the product field you wan to edit

**2. Enter the task name and choose how to edit the products**\
In the field **How to edit**, select one change you want to make to the product field.

*For example*: for product title, we can select on of the options below:

* **Select text to value**
* **Add text to start**&#x20;
* **Add text to end**
* **Search and replace text**&#x20;
* **Remove text from the start**
* **Remove text up to and including a word**&#x20;
* **Remove text from the word to the end**

Then enter the value.

**4. Set Start time and Undo time**

* **Start time**: the time the edit is applied. If you select the Now option, the edit is applied right after the task is saved in the app.
* **Undo time**: the edit you made will be undone automatically in the future time. Tick on the checkbox Undo the edit at a scheduled time to set the undo time you want.

After the task is created, check the result on the online store

It may take a while to apply the changes to selected products

You still can make the below changes

* Pause the task if it is running
* Change the start time of the edit if it is scheduled
* Change the undo time if it is scheduled
* Cancel the undo time
