> Efficiently update multiple assets at once using the Atlan Python SDK (pyatlan) with advanced techniques and end-to-end patterns.

# Bulk updates

For most of the write operations covered in the above sections, you can also:

- [Combine multiple operations together](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/combine-operations/llms.txt)
- [Make changes to multiple assets at the same time](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/update-multiple-assets/llms.txt)

> **Tip: Optimize changes**
>
> These each allow you to optimize your work. Rather than making a separate API call for each change or each asset, you can make a single API call that includes all your changes—even across many assets.

Of course, in order to change multiple assets you also need to first know which assets to change.

To do this, there is a [common end-to-end bulk update pattern](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/update-assets-end-to-end/llms.txt) you can follow.
