+## Append to multiple streams
+
+::: note
+This feature is only available in KurrentDB 25.1 and later.
+:::
+
+You can append events to multiple streams in a single atomic operation. Either all streams are updated, or the entire operation fails.
+
+The `multiStreamAppend` method accepts a collection of `AppendStreamRequest` objects and returns a `MultiAppendWriteResult`. Each `AppendStreamRequest` contains:
+
+- **streamName** - The name of the stream
+- **expectedState** - The expected state of the stream for optimistic concurrency control
+- **events** - A collection of `EventData` objects to append
+
+The operation returns a `MultiAppendWriteResult` that contains either:
+- A list of `AppendStreamSuccess` objects if all streams were successfully updated
+- A list of `AppendStreamFailure` objects if any streams failed to update
+
+::: warning
+Event metadata in `EventData` must be valid JSON objects. This requirement will
+be removed in a future major release.
+:::
+
+Here's a basic example of appending events to multiple streams:
+
+```java
+JsonMapper mapper = new JsonMapper();
+
+Map<String, Object> metadata = new HashMap<>();
+metadata.put("timestamp", Instant.now().toString());
+        metadata.put("source", "OrderProcessingSystem");
+metadata.put("version", 1.0);
+
+byte[] metadataBytes = mapper.writeValueAsBytes(metadata);
+
+EventData orderEvent = EventData
+        .builderAsJson("OrderCreated", mapper.writeValueAsBytes(new OrderCreated("12345", 99.99)))
+        .metadataAsBytes(metadataBytes)
+        .build();
+
+EventData inventoryEvent = EventData
+        .builderAsJson("ProductPurchased", mapper.writeValueAsBytes(new ProductPurchased("ABC123", 2, 19.99)))
+        .metadataAsBytes(metadataBytes)
+        .build();
+
+List<AppendStreamRequest> requests = Arrays.asList(
+        new AppendStreamRequest(
+                "order-stream-1",
+                Collections.singletonList(orderEvent).iterator(),
+                StreamState.any()
+        ),
+        new AppendStreamRequest(
+                "product-stream-1",
+                Collections.singletonList(inventoryEvent).iterator(),
+                StreamState.any()
+        )
+);
+
+MultiAppendWriteResult result = client.multiStreamAppend(requests.iterator()).get();
+
+if (result.getSuccesses().isPresent())
+    result.getSuccesses().get().forEach(success -> {
+        System.out.println(success.getStreamName() + " updated at " + success.getPosition());
+    });
+```
+
+If the operation doesn't succeed, you can handle the failures as follows:
+
+```java
+if (result.getFailures().isPresent()) {
+    MultiAppendErrorVisitor visitor = new MultiAppendErrorVisitor();
+    result.getFailures().get().forEach(failure -> {
+        failure.visit(visitor);
+
+        if (visitor.wasWrongExpectedRevisionVisited()) {
+            System.out.println("Wrong revision for stream: " + failure.getStreamName());
+        } else if (visitor.wasStreamDeletedVisited()) {
+            System.out.println("Stream deleted: " + failure.getStreamName());
+        } else if (visitor.wasAccessDenied()) {
+            System.out.println("Access denied: " + failure.getStreamName());
+        } else if (visitor.wasTransactionMaxSizeExceeded()) {
+            System.out.println("Transaction too large: " + failure.getStreamName());
+        } else {
+            System.out.println("Unknown error: " + failure.getStreamName());
+        }
+    });
+}
+```
