# Bulk Actions in PEARS

Bulk actions allow you to copy or edit multiple records simultaneously across supported PEARS modules. This feature is available in Direct Contacts, Program Activities, PSE Site Activities, Social Marketing Campaigns, Partnerships, Coalitions, Indirect Activities, Success Stories, Quarterly Efforts, and Action Plan Reports.
