# Create new bulk edit 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.
