# Global Option Sets

Manage reusable option sets belonging to your Mimeeq account. An option set contains choices and their metadata that can be used in product configurators.

Use this section to maintain shared choices such as finishes or materials, instead of maintaining equivalent option data separately. Collection Sets group option sets; Custom Fields defines additional fields carried by options.

### Before you start

Your API key needs `globalOptionSets:read` to read these resources. Use `globalOptionSets:write` for write operations.

### Important behaviour

General settings and option membership have separate operations. PUT on the options list replaces every option; POST adds or replaces the options supplied; the remove operation removes selected IDs. A submitted option is a complete value, not a partial field patch. Preserve its other fields and translations when editing it. List responses are localized; Get without lang returns complete translation maps.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/api/global-option-sets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
