# In short, the instruction looks something like this:

# CMD npm start

Actor IDs

Actor Name Contains

Choose how to identify the target actors to batch process. You can target actors that contain specific text as part of the actor name, target actors by their id, or target all actors in your account.

Run builds for multiple actors in your account simultaneously. This can be useful when many actors in a given project have been updated. For example, the documentation might have been updated in 50 actors. This tool will help you trigger actor builds for all 50 at once.
