# Scan targets in bulk

How to scan Snyk API & Web targets in bulk

{% hint style="info" %}
**Snyk is rolling out a new navigation.** The steps on this page describe the classic interface. If your view looks different, visit [Navigate the Snyk Web UI](https://docs.snyk.io/navigate-the-snyk-web-ui#where-things-moved) to map these options to the new interface.

## Scan targets in bulk

When managing scans, you can run scan actions for multiple targets in bulk instead of individually.

To run bulk scan actions:

1. Navigate to the **Targets** section.
2. Select the check boxes for the targets in the list. If all selected targets have scans in the same state, the button for bulk scan actions becomes available.
3. Click the button and select the scan action to run in bulk.

You can **Scan**, **Pause**, **Resume**, or **Stop** scans this way. Snyk runs the action you select for all the selected targets and updates their status accordingly.

You can also schedule scans in bulk. For more information, visit [Schedule scan](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/start-scanning/overview-scan-management/schedule-scan.md).

Bulk operations are available only for the Enterprise plan.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/start-scanning/overview-scan-management/scan-targets-in-bulk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
