# Faster bulk operations

DateDecember 15, 2025

Version[2026-01](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_version=2026-01)

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)

We've updated bulk operations in the GraphQL Admin API to process large datasets faster.

**What's new:** Here's what we've done:

* **Support for all mutations**: Previously bulk mutations only supported a limited set of actions. Now, you can execute any mutation using bulk operations across all API versions.
* **Larger file uploads** : Upload files up to 100MB (up from 20MB), reducing the number of operations needed for large datasets.
* **Five concurrent operations**: Each app can run up to five bulk operations per shop simultaneously. Split large imports and exports into parallel jobs and complete them faster without managing throttling or concurrency yourself.

For setup guidance and examples, visit the [developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/imports).
