W and Z inclusive and differential cross sections at CMS

We summarize the results of recent studies of the production of W and Z bosons in proton-proton collisions using data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider during Run I and Run II. The total and differential cross sections measured as a function of various kinematic variables are discussed along with specific studies on the W boson charge asymmetry and the angular coefficients of Z bosons decaying to $\mu^+\mu^-$.
