# What do the batch script actions mean?

When a batch script is double-clicked in the Finder and Synk is not already running, Synk can take several different actions when opening the script:

- View script -- this option simply opens the script for editing as if it was opened from within Synk.
- Open and preview -- this option partially automates the running process, opening each document and previewing what actions will be taken.
- Run all and quit -- this option completely automates the running process, opening each document, running it, saving it, and quitting Synk when all documents are complete. No user interaction is required unless a network volume needs a password to mount.
