Releases: actions/download-artifact
v7.0.0
v7 - What's new
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 README.md by @nebuk89 in #407
- 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 topath/(direct) - By ID:
artifact-ids: 12345→ extracted topath/my-artifact/(nested)
Now both methods are consistent:
- By name:
name: my-artifact→ extracted topath/(unchanged) - By ID:
artifact-ids: 12345→ extracted topath/(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: trueas 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@v4
with:
artifact-ids: 12345
path: dist
# Files were in: dist/my-artifact/Where
my-artifactis the name of the artifact you previously uploaded
To maintain old behavior (if needed):
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v5
with:
artifact-ids: 12345
path: dist/my-artifact # Explicitly specify the nested pathNew Contributors
