• last: Int - The last `n` elements from the [paginated list](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql).
• query: String - A filter made up of terms, connectives, modifiers, and comparators. | name | type | description | acceptable_values | default_value | example_use | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | default | string | Filter by a case-insensitive search of multiple fields in a document. | | | - `query=Bob Norman`<br/> - `query=title:green hoodie` | | collection_type | string | | - `custom`<br/> - `smart` | | handle | string | | id | id | Filter by `id` range. | | | - `id:1234`<br/> - `id:>=1234`<br/> - `id:<=1234` | | product_id | id | Filter by collections containing a product by its ID. | | product_publication_status | string | Filter by the publishable status of the resource on a channel, such as the online store. The value is a composite of the [channel `app` ID](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel#app-price) (`Channel.app.id`) and one of the valid values. | - `approved`<br/> - `rejected`<br/> - `needs_action`<br/> - `awaiting_review`<br/> - `published`<br/> - `demoted`<br/> - `scheduled`<br/> - `provisionally_published` | | - `publishable_status:189769876-approved` | | publishable_status | string | Filter by the publishable status of the resource on a channel, such as the online store. The value is a composite of either the [channel `app` ID](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel#app-price) (`Channel.app.id`) or [channel `name`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Channel#field-name) and one of the valid values. | - `online_store_channel`<br/> - `published`<br/> - `unpublished`<br/> - `visible`<br/> - `unavailable`<br/> - `hidden`<br/> - `intended`<br/> - `visible` | | - `publishable_status:published`<br/> - `publishable_status:189769876:visible`<br/> - `publishable_status:pos:hidden` | | published_at | time | Filter by the date and time when the collection was published to the Online Store. | | published_status | string | Filter by the published status of the resource on a channel, such as the online store. | - `unset`<br/> - `pending`<br/> - `approved`<br/> - `not approved` | | - `published_status:approved` | | title | string | | updated_at | time | You can apply one or more filters to a query.

• reverse: Boolean - Reverse the order of the underlying list.
• savedSearchId: ID - The ID of a [saved search](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/savedsearch#field-id). The search’s query string is used as the query argument.
• sortKey: CollectionSortKeys - Sort the underlying list using a key. If your query is slow or returns an error, then [try specifying a sort key that matches the field used in the search](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql#search-performance-considerations).

Returns

• edges: CollectionEdge! The connection between the node and its parent. Each edge contains a minimum of the edge's cursor and the node.
• nodes: Collection! A list of nodes that are contained in CollectionEdge. You can fetch data about an individual node, or you can follow the edges to fetch data about a collection of related nodes. At each node, you specify the fields that you want to retrieve.
• pageInfo: PageInfo! An object that’s used to retrieve [cursor information](https://shopify.dev/api/usage/pagination-graphql) about the current page.
