# How to remove products in the "Products to remove" block

An inactive product may remain on a planogram even if it is no longer in the store's assortment. For example, a seasonal line has ended, sales have dropped, or the product is being discontinued. To quickly find such products and update the layout in time, they are all collected in one place in the **"Products to remove"** block.

In this article, we will review how to upload products for removal, where to find them, and how to remove them from a planogram and replace them with others.
