# Bulk Operations
When you have multiple contacts to manage at once, bulk operations save you time. Move, organize, or clean up contacts in batches instead of one by one.

> Efficiency comes from handling ==many at once== instead of one at a time.
## Bulk Move from Inbox
The most common bulk operation is moving imported contacts from your [[Import Inbox]] to a book.
1. Go to your **Inbox**
2. **Select multiple contacts** using the checkboxes
3. Click **Move to Book**
4. Choose the target book
5. All selected contacts are moved at once
> [!tip] After a CSV import
> After importing a CSV file, use bulk move to quickly send all reviewed contacts to the right book. This is the fastest way to go from spreadsheet to organized book.
## When to Use Bulk Operations
- **After CSV Import** → move reviewed contacts to a book
- **Inbox cleanup** → remove multiple unwanted contacts
- **Reorganizing** → move contacts between books (via inbox)
> [!success] The Key Idea
> Bulk operations let you manage contacts at scale. Use them after imports or when reorganizing to save time and keep your books tidy.
