# How are API versioning and API updates handeled?

Generally, we try to have the **latest version on APIs** e.g. /v4/  Once a /v5/ is released, with grace period of 60 days, and users want to use it immediately, they can overwrite the base-domain in the [ConnectorAuth](/connectors/authentication/setting-up-authentication.md).

If an old API version is still available and there is no immediate need, we will introduce a **new API version upon request** by customers with 48h notice by customers.

Next, we will inform all customers about the upgrade to /v5/ and any potential breaking changes. Additionally, we **ask customers to move their connectors to the new version**. Once we see there is either no negative interference or all customers upgraded, we change our primary connector version to /v5/ .

If a change only concerns individual endpoints, we either **inform customers and make the change immediately**, e.g. if the API just changed **without notice** and is unusable otherwise, or create a separate action with the new endpoint details and run both in parallel for some time, until all customer's flows are migrated.
