## What it does

What shipped across the whole system — the platform’s release notes in plain words, newest first, from any day you name or over the last 90 days.

What shipped, NEWEST first (🆕 — THE CHANGES TAB): the platform's release record in the merchant's words, off the bundled table — the same rows the office's What's new tab shows. since: a UTC calendar day YYYY-MM-DD — the rows on or after it (malformed → VALIDATION/INVALID); absent = the last 90 days. limit: the house page size (default 100, clamps at 200). nextToken: a prior page's cursor VERBATIM (opaque; a foreign cursor → VALIDATION/INVALID). A SELF read — every signed-in person, every role; an integration key reads it too (release notes are public-grade). Requires authentication.

## What happens

A read over the platform’s own release record — the same rows the office shows on the landing’s What’s new tab: what changed, why it matters, which surfaces and roles it touches, and the door to open. Nothing of yours is read or changed; every signed-in person sees the same list, and your scripts and assistants can ask for it too.

## Who may call it

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `since` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |
| `limit` | [Int](/types/#scalars) | no | How many records to answer at most; a page may hold fewer. |
| `nextToken` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | The cursor from the previous page, passed back exactly as received. |

## Returns

[ChangePage](/types/ChangePage/) `ChangePage!` — One page of the release record, NEWEST first (the house page grammar over a bounded table).

This is a page: `items` holds the records and `nextToken` the cursor for the next page — pass it back verbatim until it is null. See [paging](/guides/paging-and-the-cursor-grammar/).
