# Edit Selected Records

The Edit Selected Records interaction applies a field update to the records the user has selected in the data table.

## Overview

The **`Edit Selected Records`** interaction edits one or more Salesforce records selected by the user. Use this interaction only on components that have the option to select items, such as the Data Table.

***

## Configuration

### **On Success**

The interactions to execute when the records are edited successfully. Accepted interactions are: [Show Toast](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/show-toast.md), [Flow Navigation](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/flow-navigation.md), [Refresh All Queries](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/refresh-all-queries.md) and [Fire Confetti](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/fire-confetti.md).

### **On Error**

The interactions to execute when the record edition fails. Accepted interactions are: [Show Toast](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/show-toast.md), [Flow Navigation](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/flow-navigation.md), [Refresh All Queries](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/refresh-all-queries.md) and [Fire Confetti](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/fire-confetti.md).

***

### Asking for Confirmation

To ask the user to confirm before the records are edited, nest the Edit Selected Records interaction inside an [Open Confirm](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/open-confirm.md) interaction: the confirmation dialog is displayed first, and the edit only runs when the user clicks "OK". The nested variant offers the same On Success and On Error settings. Outside of an Open Confirm interaction, use the standard Edit Selected Records interaction directly.

***

## Example

Imagine a Data Table listing leads with selection enabled. The user selects a batch of leads and triggers an Edit Selected Records interaction from a header action to apply the change to every selected record at once. On success, a Refresh All Queries interaction updates the table with the new values, and a Show Toast interaction confirms the update.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.avonnicomponents.com/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/edit-selected-records.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.
