# Bulk Operations

> Deploy, destroy, lock, or run tasks on multiple env zero environments at once, selecting environments within a project or across projects from the dashboard.

env zero's bulk operations feature is designed to simplify your workflow as your organization grows and your projects expand to multiple environments. With bulk operations, you can perform actions simultaneously on numerous environments, saving time and effort.

## Running a Bulk Operation

### Running a bulk operation in a specific project:

1. Go to your `Project Environments` page.
2. Click the kebab menu button at the top right of the list and select `Toggle selection mode`.
3. Choose the environments you want to include in the operation and click `Perform Action`.

6. In the `Summary` step, review, and approve your operation. Click `Done` to initiate the bulk operation.
