 `POST /api/v1/fleet/software/batch`
 
+This endpoint is asynchronous, meaning it will start a background process to download and apply the software and return a `request_uuid` in the JSON response that can be used to query the status of the batch-apply (using the `GET /api/v1/fleet/software/batch/{request_uuid}` endpoint defined below).
+
 #### Parameters
 
 | Name      | Type   | In    | Description                                                                                                                                                           |
 | --------- | ------ | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| team_id   | number | query | The ID of the team to add the software package to. Only one team identifier (`team_id` or `team_name`) can be included in the request, omit this parameter if using `team_name`. Ommitting these parameters will add software to 'No Team'. |
-| team_name | string | query | The name of the team to add the software package to. Only one team identifier (`team_id` or `team_name`) can be included in the request, omit this parameter if using `team_id`. Ommitting these parameters will add software to 'No Team'. |
+| team_name | string | query | The name of the team to add the software package to. Ommitting these parameters will add software to 'No Team'. |
 | dry_run   | bool   | query | If `true`, will validate the provided software packages and return any validation errors, but will not apply the changes.                                                                         |
 | software  | object   | body  | The team's software that will be available for install.  |
 | software.packages   | list   | body  | An array of objects. Each object consists of:`url`- URL to the software package (PKG, MSI, EXE or DEB),`install_script` - command that Fleet runs to install software, `pre_install_query` - condition query that determines if the install will proceed, `post_install_script` - script that runs after software install, and `uninstall_script` - command that Fleet runs to uninstall software. |
-| software.app_store_apps | list   | body  | An array objects. Each object consists of `app_store_id` - ID of the App Store app. |
-
-If both `team_id` and `team_name` parameters are included, this endpoint will respond with an error. If no `team_name` or `team_id` is provided, the scripts will be applied for **all hosts**.
