You can: - **Edit** an action by clicking on the action item in the list & making the necessary changes. - **Delete** an action by clicking on the delete icon next to the action item. - **Disable** an action by toggling the switch next to the action item. Disabling an action will prevent it from being applied to the records. :::warning - Bulk updates can't be undone. Ensure you review the changes before confirming the update. ::: :::info - Bulk updates are applied to all records in the view, including those that are not visible on the current page. - Bulk updates are specific to the view and are not applied to the entire table. ::: For any configured bulk update extension, you can reuse the **Update Records** button to repeat the batch update process. This is particularly useful when you need to apply the same changes across multiple records in the future.
