# productUpdate - admin-graphql - MUTATION
Version: 2024-10

## Description
Updates a product.

For versions `2024-01` and older:
If you update a product and only include some variants in the update,
then any variants not included will be deleted.

To safely manage variants without the risk of
deleting excluded variants, use
[productVariantsBulkUpdate](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productvariantsbulkupdate).

If you want to update a single variant, then use
[productVariantUpdate](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productvariantupdate).

### Access Scopes
