 ## Unreleased
 
-### Unreleased: Breaking Change: upload-artifact and download-artifact
-
-- Our workflows now use the new `@v4`s of `actions/upload-artifact` and `actions/download-artifact`, which are incompatiblle with the prior `@v3`. See Our docs on the [generic generator](./internal/builders/generic/README.md#compatibility-with-actionsdownload-artifact) for more information and how to upgrade.
-
 ### Unreleased: Breaking Change: attestation-name Workflow Input and Output
 
 - `attestation-name` as a workflow input to `.github/workflows/generator_generic_slsa3.yml` is now removed. Use `provenance-name` instead.

 ### Compatibility with `actions/download-artifact`
 
-`slsa-github-generator@v1.9.0` and prior use [`actions/upload-artifact@v3`](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact) and [`actions/download-artifact@v3`](https://github.com/actions/download-artifact) which are not backwards compatible the `@v4`s used in current versions of `slsa-github-generator`.
-The interface remains the same, however. If your own workflows want to download artifacts produced by our workflows, they must begin using `actions/download-artifact@v4`. For your other dependent workflows, you may find that you need to upgrade all of your uses of both of the actions to `@v4` to maintain compatibility.

-- https://github.com/actions/download-artifact/blob/main/docs/MIGRATION.md
-
-This is part of our effort to upgrade from the now-deprecated node16 that the `@v3`s used. `@v4s` use node20.
+To download provenance (e.g., if you don't use `upload-assets`) you have to
+use [`actions/download-artifact@v3`](https://github.com/actions/download-artifact).
+The workflow uses [`actions/upload-artifact@3`](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact)
+which is
+[not compatible](https://github.com/actions/download-artifact?tab=readme-ov-file#breaking-changes)
+with `actions/download-artifact@v4`.
