Security admininstrators can manually assign or modify the site location for a device. Manually assigning a site overrides the automatic site association created when making the site. Therefore, once a site is set manually, this device <!-- surely: once the device is set manually, it will no longer.... AMIT? --> will no longer appear in the automatic site association suggestions in the Site set up process, until the manual association is reset.<!-- why do i need to add this, if the device is already associated with a site, why would it appear in a list anyway?

To quickly update a group of devices, select multiple devices from the inventory and set the site for all of the selected devices simulataneously.<!-- The 'Set site' action can be used for bulk management by selecting multiple devices from the inventory and setting the site for all selected devices simultaneously. This allows for quick updates to site associations when managing a group of devices. this was Amits wording, i think this is better. but should i use the words bulk management? Should this be added at the end instead of the beginning? Limor-->

Alternatively, for managing multiple device or making site wide changes, it is recommended to go to **Site security** and use the **Edit site** wizard to more efficiently manage the site and the devices associated to it. For more information, see [link to site security](monitor-site-security.md). <!-- but this is more like removing a device from a specific site, not adding it to a different one instead?? how is this different from the bulk management mentioned above?
