Is there an easy way to update multiple buildings with the same street name?

I’m mapping an area from my old neighbourhood/city that doesn’t have most of the buildings mapped. For now, I’m just trying to get the buildings added, I’m not super worried about adding addresses at the moment.

SOLUTION
Using the ID Editor, hold SHIFT and select the buildings.

I think you hold either shift or Ctrl (I forgot which one) and then you highlight the ones you want.

Just tried both and it was shift on the ID Editor. Thank you!
