It is useful when you need to change or set new URLs for a task, for example, when the target web pages for data extraction have changed or need to be refreshed. Users provide the task group, select the specific task, and input the new URLs (one per line) to update the task's URLs accordingly.
Use Case Examples
- Updating the URLs of a web scraping task after the target website structure changes.
- Setting multiple URLs for a task to scrape data from multiple pages.
