# Batch (or “bulk”) processing

There are two ways to batch process PageSeeder [documents](document.md) through the user interface. One is using the search results, and the other is to configure a [publish task](publish_task.md) to run at the [folder](folder.md) level using the [task config](../../guide/publishing/ant_api/tasks/task_config.md).

The search results page, in the format-sheet edit sheet format, allows users to process multiple files at once using one of the following functions.

Batch processing without the user interface can be done through the [Ant API](../../guide/publishing/ant_api.md).
