# Batch Deploying Firmware

Flashing multiple devices on at a time can be very time consuming, especially if you want to keep your offline fleet up-to-date.

Webtopus simplifies this process by allowing you to batch firmware upgrades, or app installations in parallel. Combine this with all firmware artifacts being cache locally, and the deployment speed goes up considerably.

This is done by selecting your desired release, hitting `Deploy`, then selecting all available vehicles that you'd like to deploy this release to.

### 1. Selecting your release

Choose a [Suite](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-Lg_oRqUBXFRHyzD9kdt/s/FW1Ge1p1f6WHyiYCb146/~/edit/~/changes/500/vehicle-operation/webtopus/operation#releases-from-suite), provided cloud release, or a [manually](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-Lg_oRqUBXFRHyzD9kdt/s/FW1Ge1p1f6WHyiYCb146/~/edit/~/changes/500/vehicle-operation/webtopus/operation#local-releases) uploaded local release. Once you are happy with your selection, click `Deploy`- this will bring you to a vehicle selection modal.

### 2. Selecting your vehicles

Once your vehicle selection modal is open, select all your desired vehicles *(or click `Select All` if you want to update all connected vehicles)* then hit `Deploy` *(this time on the deployment modal)*

Once this is done, a deployment will triggered on your respective vehicle(s).

#### 3. Monitoring the deployment

Once a deployment is triggered, it will run in the background, so that you actually can focus on other tasks, even within Webtopus.

Loading indicators will be displayed within the deployment modal (if you haven't closed it), the deployed release card within the 'Firmware' page, and the targeted vehicle cards within the 'Vehicles' page.

#### Getting back to the deployment modal

If you wish to go back to the initial deployment modal, a button called `Deployment` , along with a loading indicator, will be present on the Firmware page, in the title bar.&#x20;

Clicking it will re-open the deployment modal, allowing you to monitor the current deployment.
