## Mutations

* [publication​Create](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/publicationCreate)

  mutation

  Creates a [`Publication`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Publication) that controls which [`Product`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) and [`Collection`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Collection) customers can access through a [`Catalog`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/interfaces/Catalog).

  ### When to create a publication

  Publications are **optional** for catalogs. Only create a publication if you need to control which products are visible in a specific catalog context. When a publication isn't associated with a catalog, product availability is determined by the sales channel.

  **Create a publication if you need to:**

  * Restrict product visibility to a subset of your inventory for a specific market or company location
  * Publish different product selections to different contexts

  **Do NOT create a publication if:**

  * You want product availability determined by the sales channel
  * You only need custom pricing (use a price list on the catalog instead)

  ### Configuration options

  You can create an empty publication and add products later, or prepopulate it with all existing products. The [`autoPublish`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/publicationCreate#arguments-input.fields.autoPublish) field determines whether the publication automatically adds newly created products.

  * input

    [Publication​Create​Input!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/PublicationCreateInput)

    required

    ### Arguments

    The input fields to use when creating the publication.

  ***

* [publication​Update](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/publicationUpdate)

  mutation

  You can add or remove [products](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) from the publication, with a maximum of 50 items per operation. The [`autoPublish`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/publicationUpdate#arguments-input.fields.autoPublish) field determines whether new products automatically display in this publication.

  * id

    [ID!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)

    required

    ### Arguments

    The ID of the publication to update.
