How would one update an order to adjust item quantities or remove an item from an order? The API only has an example for updating the shipping address, any help would be appreciated.

Hi @sjdev!  
The `order_update_line_items` Mutation will work for that purpose, it will help you update line items.  
You must specify the `order_id` and then you can change `line_items` quantities or statuses by using their id’s.  
You all the fields by checking the [Schema & Docs](https://developer.shiphero.com/getting-started/#schemaanddocs), but let me know if there is anything else I could help with.  
Thanks in advance!
