# Duplicate and Delete Product Asynchronously with GraphQL Admin API

As of GraphQL Admin API version `2023-01`, we are adding mutations productDuplicateAsync and productDeleteAsync. This will allow you to asynchronously duplicate and delete products that have a high number of variants that are stocked at several locations. This is because the mutations [productDuplicate](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productDuplicate) and [productDelete](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productDelete) may time out for these *larger* products.

Learn more about the mutations at [productDuplicateAsync](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productDuplicateAsync) and [productDeleteAsync](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productDeleteAsync).
