## Assigning an area to multiple items
You can assign an area to multiple items at once in the automation, scene, script, and device pages.
1. Depending on what you want to assign, go to one of the following pages:
- For automations, scripts, or scenes {% my automations title="**Settings** > **Automations & Scenes**" %} and open the respective tab.
- For devices, go to {% my devices title="**Settings** > **Devices & services** > **Devices**" %}.
2. In the list, [select all the items](/docs/organizing/filtering#selecting-multiple-items-in-a-table) you want to assign to an area.

## Editing an area
Follow these steps to edit an area.

2. In the dialog, adjust the area details you want to change:
- Edit the area **Name**.
- Add an icon (We use [Material icons](https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/)).
- Assign the area to a floor.
- If you have not created floors yet, you can [create a new one](/docs/organizing/floors/#creating-a-floor).
- The number can be negative. For example for underground floors.
- This number can later be used for sorting.
- Add an image representing that area.
- Add an **Alias**.
- Aliases are alternative names used in [voice assistants](/voice_control/aliases/) to refer to an area, entity, or floor.

Follow these steps to delete an area. It will be removed from all the floors it was assigned to. All the devices that were assigned to this area will become unassigned.

2. In the top right corner, select the three dot menu. Then, select **Delete**.
