   Absolutely, you can update properties of multiple nodes in a single query without specifying each node individually. The answers provided have illustrated this well.
   
   1. **Update nodes based on a condition**:
       ```cypher
       MATCH (n:label) WHERE n.Property = 'existing value' 
       SET n.newProperty = 'new value'
       ```
   In this case, all nodes with the specified label and the property that matches the given existing value will have their newProperty updated to 'new value'.
   
   2. **Update all nodes of a specific label**:
       ```cypher
       MATCH (n:label)   
       SET n.newProperty = 'new value'
       ```
   Here, all nodes with the given label will have their newProperty updated to 'new value', irrespective of their current properties.
   
   You can choose between these methods based on whether you want to update properties of all nodes of a specific label or only those nodes that meet certain conditions.
