Batch operations for tables
We’re releasing major improvements to tables in our application. They enable you to perform batch operations (delete, abort, schedule) on your actors, actor tasks and storages. Currently, the operations are available for Actors and Actor tasks, with more operation types coming over the next few days.
Other improvements in the Apify app
- You can now set up SEO fields (title and description) for your published actors to make them easy to find using search engines.
- It is possible to abandon an actor, actor task or storage shared with you by another user using the Abandon button in the Settings tab.
- Access rights now support a new permission, Manage access rights, which allows the grantee to manage a shared resource’s access rights.
