<Update label="v2.0.0" description="11 Sept 2026">
  `breaking-change` `new-actions` `description-fix`

  Breaking — the Download File action has been removed. Box delivers file content as a streamed download artifact rather than inline JSON, so the action always returned an empty body; use Get File to read metadata and retrieve content through the returned shared link. Update Task now requires message, because Box rejects any update body that omits it, and Search Content requires query, because this connector does not expose Box's metadata-filter alternative. Added Search Content so an item can be found by name in one call instead of walking folders, Unlock File so a lock applied through Update File can be removed, and Create Metadata Template so templates can be created rather than only read. Update File no longer states that unlocking is unavailable, Copy File explains that omitting name lets Box auto-rename while an explicit name already in use returns 409, and every delete action now returns an explicit confirmation message instead of an empty payload.

<Update label="v1.2.0" description="10 Sept 2026">
  `new-feature`

  Enabled scheduled data sync on five list actions — users, groups, trashed items, webhooks and metadata templates — so these collections can be kept in sync and read without calling Box on every request. Users, groups and trashed items page by offset; webhooks and metadata templates follow Box's marker cursor. Each syncs by full refresh, because the Box API exposes no updated-since filter on these endpoints (change tracking is only available through the Events API).

<Update label="v1.1.2" description="12 Aug 2026">
  `guide-changes`

  Clarified in the OAuth connection guide that the Write content permission is only required when connecting with the default scopes or using actions that create or modify content — read-only connections with custom scopes can omit it.

<Update label="v1.1.1" description="28 Jul 2026">
  `bug-fix`
