+### Notifications Module
+
+The endpoint for marking notifications as read has been updated. Previously the route was `/api/notifications/read`, and now it is `/Notifications/MarkAsRead`. This change will only affect you if you have overridden the `UserNotificationNavbar` view.
+
 ### Contents
 
 The `IContentManager` interface was modified. The method `Task<IEnumerable<ContentItem>> GetAsync(IEnumerable<string> contentItemIds, bool latest = false)` was removed. Instead use the method that accepts `VersionOptions` by providing either `VersionOptions.Latest` or `VersionOptions.Published` will be used by default.
