You must send the `Batch-Beta: catalog-replace` header with each replace call. {% endhint %} Use `/catalogs/replace/cancel` to close an open replace session without an apply. Batch discards the pending revision and all its staged items. The live catalog does not change. ## Replace Cancel > \*\*Beta.\*\* Catalog replace is a Beta feature and can change.

This endpoint also needs the `Batch-Beta: catalog-replace` header. **Post data** The body of the request must contain a valid JSON payload. The payload gives the `replace_token` from `/catalogs/replace/start`. ```json { "replace_token": "eqRqTF7xFznYoG0MLs1sIqM1JhmhGLTZ7I5NtM5f" } ``` ### Responses #### Success If the call is successful, you receive an HTTP 200 confirmation with an empty body. The session is closed. Batch discards the pending revision. #### Failure If the replace\_token is unknown, or its session is complete or cancelled, you receive an HTTP 409 with the `CATALOG_REPLACE_UNKNOWN` error code. For each other problem, you receive an error message that tells you what to do. Contact us at if you need more help. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://doc.batch.com/developer/api/cep/catalogs/replace-cancel.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
