-    ## ODK Central v2023.4
+    ## ODK Central v2023.5
+
+    **Added**:
+
+    - Entities accessed via API now have conflict and version-specific conflictingProperties fields
+
+      * Conflicts are either `hard` (baseVersion conflicts and multiple versions update the same property), `soft` (baseVersion conflicts but data updates are independent), or `null`
+
+    **Changed**:
+
+    - Conflicts can be resolved using the [PATCH entity](/central-api-entity-management/#updating-an-entity) endpoint with or without new data
+
+    ### ODK Central v2023.4
