# Partial updates for bulk product variants mutation

In the Admin GraphQL API version 2023-04, you can use the `productVariantsBulkUpdate` mutation to update valid variants even if some variants are invalid. The new `allowPartialUpdates` parameter is optional and defaults to `false` for backwards compatibility, but by enabling it, the mutation will modify valid variants, instead of not updating any variants due to invalid variants.

Learn more about the mutation [here](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/mutations/productvariantsbulkupdate).
