Action What it does
Bulk edit Change settings, schedule and channels for all selected tasks at once. Needs at least two tasks.
Run Starts a check on each selected task now. Each check uses credits, as a scheduled one would.
Export Downloads a CSV of the selected tasks: name, address, labels, mode, threshold, frequency, and the last check, next check and last alert.
Report Builds a report of the selected tasks’ checks over a period (Business accounts).
Move Moves the tasks to another workspace (Business account admins).
Deactivate Stops checks on the selected tasks. In Inactive tasks this becomes Activate.
Delete Removes the tasks and all of their checks permanently.

Bulk edit

Click Bulk edit. The selected tasks are listed on the left; on the right, the Settings, Schedule and Channels tabs work as they do for a single task. Change what you need and click Update tasks.

Settings that only make sense for one page, such as the selected area, the element selector or automations, aren’t offered here. Edit those task by task.

Export a report of checks

Click Report, choose the period, whether to include every check or only those that sent an alert, and the format: Excel, CSV or PDF. Then click Generate report.
