# Manage items in a Push source
The main purpose of the Push API is to let you manage [items](https://docs.coveo.com/en/210/), their [metadata](https://docs.coveo.com/en/218/), and their [permission models](https://docs.coveo.com/en/225/) in a Push [source](https://docs.coveo.com/en/246/).

The articles in this section explain how to do so.

- [Add or update an item](https://docs.coveo.com/en/133/)
- [Delete an item](https://docs.coveo.com/en/171/)
- [Delete old items](https://docs.coveo.com/en/131/)
- [Manage batches of items](https://docs.coveo.com/en/90/)
- [Item data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/73/)
- [Item metadata](https://docs.coveo.com/en/115/)
- [Item permissions](https://docs.coveo.com/en/obqg0494/)
