+## Context
+
+### Difference in comparison to the Odoo Feature**
+
+Since Odoo V13, a limited *Mass Editing* feature is available in Odoo CE.
+
+In the list view, when selecting multiple records, you can edit a field. Then, the system will ask you if you want to apply those changes on all selected records.

+![Odoo Mass Editing Result](../static/description/18-Odoo_Mass_edit_Result.png)
+
+This module provides the following extra features :
+
+* Mass edit *many fields* in a single action  
+* Add an access group to the *Mass Edit Action* to limit the usage of this action to specific users.  
+* Filter the records the user can mass update  
+* Mass edit any fields with any widget. (For example color fields, image fields, etc...)
+
+## Use Case
+
+It can be useful to be able to edit the value of one or more fields on multiple records at the same time easily.
+
+For example, if I want to identify some contacts as *Customers,* I need to change the value of the field `customer_rank` from 0 to 1\. This field is not visible on the form view of a *Contact* so the only way to do it (without this module) would be to export the list and import the edited file.
+
+Another example would be to give access to specific users, using access groups, to mass edit some fields on the invoices.
