# Remove unprocessed exchange lines from a return

We're introducing the [`removeFromReturn`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/removeFromReturn) mutation, which allows you to remove unprocessed items from returns efficiently.

### What's new

This mutation enables the removal of:

* Return line items
* Exchange line items

### Replaces previous mutation

The `removeFromReturn` mutation supersedes the [`returnLineItemRemoveFromReturn`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-07/mutations/returnlineitemremovefromreturn) mutation, which was limited to removing only return line items.

### Availability

Currently available in the `unstable` GraphQL API version, this mutation will be officially released in version `2025-07`.
