Bulk actions

When you manage dozens of profiles, acting on them one at a time is slow. Santiago lets you select several profiles and launch, stop, duplicate, or delete them all at once from the profile list.

Selecting profiles

Every profile card has a checkbox on the left. A bulk action bar sits above the list with a master checkbox and a selection counter. Tick the boxes for the profiles you want to act on, and the bulk action buttons appear in that bar.

You can also use the master checkbox in the bar:

• Select all — selects every profile currently shown in the list.
• Click it again (when everything is selected) to clear the selection.
• When only some profiles are selected, the master checkbox shows a partial (indeterminate) state, and the bar reads N selected.

Selection follows your filters

Selection works on the profiles you can currently see. If you apply a search, filter, or sort first, Select all only selects the visible (filtered) results. This is the easiest way to act on a group — for example, filter by a tag or by an OS, then select all and launch. See Organize profiles for how to filter and tag.

What you can do in bulk

Once at least one profile is selected, the bulk action bar shows the available actions. The buttons adapt to your selection — for example, Stop only appears when some of the selected profiles are running.

Action	Applies to	What it does
Launch	Idle profiles in your selection	Starts each idle profile (runs a proxy check first if the profile uses one)
Stop	Running profiles in your selection	Closes the browser windows and saves each session
Duplicate	All selected profiles	Creates a copy of each profile’s settings, named … (copy)
Delete	Selected profiles that are not running	Permanently removes the profiles and their session data

Each button shows a count, so you always know how many profiles it will affect — for example, Launch 5 or Delete 3. Every action asks for confirmation before it runs.

Launch many profiles

Select the profiles you want to start, then click Launch N. Santiago launches every idle profile in your selection. Each profile goes through the normal startup steps (proxy check, then start), and you can watch the status badge on each card change to Running.

Concurrent session limits apply

Your plan limits how many profiles can run at the same time: Starter allows 3, Pro 40, and Agency 300 concurrent sessions. If a bulk launch would push you over that limit, the profiles beyond your limit will not start and you’ll see a “concurrent limit reached” message. Stop some running profiles first, or upgrade your plan for more slots.

Profiles that are already running or that are locked (in use on another device) are not re-launched. See Profile overview for what each status means.

Stop many profiles

Select profiles and click Stop N to close them all at once. Only the running profiles in your selection are stopped; idle ones are left alone. Each session (cookies and open tabs) is saved as the browser closes, just like stopping a single profile. Learn more in Session sync.

Duplicate many profiles

Click Duplicate N to copy every selected profile. Each copy keeps the original’s fingerprint and proxy settings and is named with a (copy) suffix, so Shop EU becomes Shop EU (copy).

What a copy does not carry over:

• The browser session (cookies and open tabs) — copies start fresh.
• Usage history (created date, last-used date).

Copies count toward your plan

Each duplicate is a brand-new profile, so it counts against your plan’s profile limit (3 on Starter, 40 on Pro, 300 on Agency). If duplicating would exceed your limit, those copies can’t be created — see Plans.

Delete many profiles

Click Delete N to remove the selected profiles. This permanently removes the profiles and their session data, so the confirmation dialog asks you to confirm first.

Running profiles are skipped

You can’t delete a profile while it’s running. If your selection includes running profiles, the Delete count excludes them and the confirmation dialog tells you how many will be skipped. Stop those profiles first if you want to delete them too.

When some actions are unavailable

A few things change what the bulk bar offers:

• No matching profiles for an action. If none of your selected profiles are idle, the Launch button doesn’t appear; if none are running, Stop doesn’t appear.
• Expired or no subscription. When your subscription has expired or you haven’t chosen a plan yet, launching and duplicating are blocked (duplicating creates new profiles, which requires an active plan). You can still select, stop, and delete profiles, and editing and exporting cookies stay available. See License states.
• Team members. On the Agency plan, team members work with shared profiles but cannot create new ones, so duplicating won’t succeed for them — only the owner can duplicate. See Team sharing.

Tips for working at scale

• Filter or tag first, then Select all — this is the fastest way to launch or stop a whole group. See Organize profiles.
• Mind your concurrent limit when launching large batches; stagger launches across plan slots if you hit the limit.
• Duplicate a well-configured profile to seed many similar ones, then edit the proxies and details on each copy. See Create & edit profiles.
• For fully automated, large-scale launching from scripts or an agent, use the local automation API instead of the UI — see Launch profiles via API and Bulk multi-account scenarios.
