[!IMPORTANT]
actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.
[!IMPORTANT]
Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).
Direct downloads
To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.
Enforced checks (breaking)
A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.
ESM
To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.
[!IMPORTANT]
actions/download-artifact@v7 now runs on Node.js 24 (runs.using: node24) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.
Node.js 24
This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v6 had preliminary support for Node 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.
What's Changed
Update GHES guidance to include reference to Node 20 version by @patrikpolyak in #440
BREAKING fix: inconsistent path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID by @GrantBirki in #416
v5.0.0
🚨 Breaking Change
This release fixes an inconsistency in path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID. If you're downloading single artifacts by ID, the output path may change.
What Changed
Previously, single artifact downloads behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:
By name: name: my-artifact → extracted to path/ (direct)
By ID: artifact-ids: 12345 → extracted to path/my-artifact/ (nested)
Now both methods are consistent:
By name: name: my-artifact → extracted to path/ (unchanged)
By ID: artifact-ids: 12345 → extracted to path/ (fixed - now direct)
Migration Guide
✅ No Action Needed If:
You download artifacts by name
You download multiple artifacts by ID
You already use merge-multiple: true as a workaround
⚠️ Action Required If:
You download single artifacts by ID and your workflows expect the nested directory structure.
Before v5 (nested structure):
- uses:actions/download-artifact@v4with:artifact-ids:12345path:dist# Files were in: dist/my-artifact/
Where my-artifact is the name of the artifact you previously uploaded
To maintain old behavior (if needed):
- uses:actions/download-artifact@v5with:artifact-ids:12345path:dist/my-artifact # Explicitly specify the nested path
Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new archive parameter to false to skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. The name parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.
ESM
To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.
[!IMPORTANT]
actions/upload-artifact@v6 now runs on Node.js 24 (runs.using: node24) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.
Node.js 24
This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v5 had preliminary support for Node.js 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

##### v5.0.0
##### 🚨 Breaking Change
This release fixes an inconsistency in path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID. **If you're downloading single artifacts by ID, the output path may change.**
##### What Changed
Previously, **single artifact downloads** behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:
- **By name**: `name: my-artifact` → extracted to `path/` (direct)
- **By ID**: `artifact-ids: 12345` → extracted to `path/my-artifact/` (nested)
Now both methods are consistent:
- **By name**: `name: my-artifact` → extracted to `path/` (unchanged)
- **By ID**: `artifact-ids: 12345` → extracted to `path/` (fixed - now direct)
##### Migration Guide
##### ✅ No Action Needed If:
- You download artifacts by **name**
- You download **multiple** artifacts by ID
- You already use `merge-multiple: true` as a workaround
##### ⚠️ Action Required If:
You download **single artifacts by ID** and your workflows expect the nested directory structure.
**Before v5 (nested structure):**
```yaml
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
with:
artifact-ids: 12345
path: dist
# Files were in: dist/my-artifact/
```
> Where `my-artifact` is the name of the artifact you previously uploaded
**To maintain old behavior (if needed):**
```yaml
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v5
with:
artifact-ids: 12345
path: dist/my-artifact # Explicitly specify the nested path
```

##### Direct Uploads
Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new `archive` parameter to `false` to skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. The `name` parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.
##### ESM
To support new versions of the `@actions/*` packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

#### v6 - What's new
> \[!IMPORTANT]
> actions/upload-artifact\@​v6 now runs on Node.js 24 (`runs.using: node24`) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.
##### Node.js 24
This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v5 had preliminary support for Node.js 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

v8 - What's new
Direct downloads
To support direct uploads in
actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks theContent-Typeheader ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the newskip-decompressparameter totrue.Enforced checks (breaking)
A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the
digest-mismatchparameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior toerrorwhich will fail the workflow run.ESM
To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

🚨 Breaking Change
This release fixes an inconsistency in path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID. If you're downloading single artifacts by ID, the output path may change.
What Changed
Previously, single artifact downloads behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:
name: my-artifact→ extracted topath/(direct)artifact-ids: 12345→ extracted topath/my-artifact/(nested)Now both methods are consistent:
name: my-artifact→ extracted topath/(unchanged)artifact-ids: 12345→ extracted topath/(fixed - now direct)Migration Guide
✅ No Action Needed If:
merge-multiple: trueas a workaround⚠️ Action Required If:
You download single artifacts by ID and your workflows expect the nested directory structure.
Before v5 (nested structure):
To maintain old behavior (if needed):
