# Batch Inscribing

Multiple inscriptions can be created inscriptions at the same time using the pointer field. This is especially helpful for collections, or other cases when multiple inscriptions should share the same parent, since the parent can passed into a reveal transaction that creates multiple children.

To create a batch inscription using a batchfile in `batch.yaml`, run the following command:

```bash
RatsPro wallet inscribe --fee-rate 21 --batch batch.yaml
```

### Example `batch.yaml` <a href="#example-batchyaml" id="example-batchyaml"></a>

```yaml
# example batch file

# there are two modes:
# - `separate-outputs`: place all inscriptions in separate postage-sized outputs
# - `shared-output`: place inscriptions in a single output separated by postage
mode: separate-outputs

# parent inscription:
parent: 6ac5cacb768794f4fd7a78bf00f2074891fce68bd65c4ff36e77177237aacacai0

# postage for each inscription:
postage: 12345

# inscriptions to inscribe
#
# each inscription has the following fields:
#
# `inscription`: path to inscription contents
# `metadata`: inscription metadata (optional)
# `metaprotocol`: inscription metaprotocol (optional)
