# Actions overview - make changes to contacts in bulk

> Learn how to apply bulk actions to multiple contacts at once from search results

# Intro

As you probably know, the search results page lets you see the records that match your search criteria and to view details about those contacts (learn more about creating custom searches in the [Search section](/docs/search/search-builder-build-an-advanced-search)).
What you might *not* know is that the search results page contains another powerful feature – the ability to make bulk edits to multiple contact records at one time. You do this by applying a **bulk action** to the contacts in your search results.
Here's a look at all of the actions you can apply:
