# Update many Projects

PATCH https://api.virtuoussoftware.com/api/Project
Content-Type: application/json

Use this endpoint anytime more than 1 project is going to be updated. 
Please note that unlike other update endpoints this endpoint ONLY needs what is being updated (i.e. a patch).
For example, if you want to update the name on a project, only send the projectId and the name. 
This ensures performance is top-notch.
