title: collectionRemoveProducts - GraphQL Admin
description: >-
  Removes multiple products from a collection in a single operation. This
  mutation can process large product sets (up to 250 products) and may take
  significant time to complete for collections with many products.


  For example, when ending a seasonal promotion, merchants can remove all sale
  items from a "Summer Clearance" collection at once rather than editing each
  product individually.


  Use `CollectionRemoveProducts` to:

  - Bulk-remove products from collections efficiently

  - Clean up collection membership during catalog updates

  - Implement automated collection management workflows


  The operation processes asynchronously to avoid timeouts and performance
  issues, especially for large product sets.
