# Breaking changes to GraphQL product duplicate APIs in version 2024-10

In the version **2024-10** release of the Admin GraphQL API, we are making the following changes in the product duplicate APIs:

The [productDuplicateAsyncV2](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/mutations/productDuplicateAsyncV2) mutation will be removed.

A new `synchronous` boolean parameter will be added to the `productDuplicate` mutation, allowing you to choose whether the product duplication should be processed synchronously or asynchronously.

**Key Updates:**

**Asynchronous Duplication:** By setting the `synchronous` parameter to `false` in the [productDuplicate](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/mutations/productDuplicate) mutation, the operation will be performed asynchronously, returning a [ProductDuplicateOperation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/ProductDuplicateOperation) object.

**Operation Tracking:** You can track the status of the asynchronous duplication by querying the operation ID through the [ProductOperation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/queries/productOperation) query.

For more detailed information and examples, visit our [productDuplicate documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productDuplicate) on Shopify.dev.
