 ## changed-files
 
-Retrieve all changed files relative to the default branch (`pull_request*` based events) or a previous commit (`push` based event) returning the **absolute path** to all changed files from the project root.
+Retrieve all changed files and directories relative to the target branch or the last remote commit returning a **relative path** from the project root.
 
 ## Features
 
-*   Fast execution (0-2 seconds on average).
+*   Fast execution (0-10 seconds on average).
 *   Easy to debug.
-*   Boolean output indicating that certain files have been modified.
-*   Multiple repositories.
-*   Self hosted runners.
-*   GitHub Enterprise Server.
-*   Supports all platforms.
-*   List all files that have changed.
-    *   Between the current pull request branch and the default branch.
+*   Scales to large repositories.
+*   Supports Git submodules.
+*   Escaped JSON output which can be used to run matrix jobs based on changed files.
+*   List changed directories.
+*   Restrict the max depth of changed directories.
+*   Write outputs to files at a specified location for further processing.
+*   Monorepos (Fetches a fixed number of commits).
+*   Supports all platforms (Linux, MacOS, Windows).
+*   [GitHub-hosted runners](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners) support
+*   [GitHub Enterprise Server](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.3/admin/github-actions/getting-started-with-github-actions-for-your-enterprise/getting-started-with-github-actions-for-github-enterprise-server) support.
+*   [self-hosted runners](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners) support.
+*   List all files and directories that have changed:
+    *   Between the current pull request branch and the last commit on the target branch.
     *   Between the last commit and the current pushed change.
     *   Between the last remote branch commit and the current HEAD.
-*   Restrict change detection to a subset of files.
-    *   Report on files that have at least one change.
-    *   [Regex pattern](https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html#Regular-Expressions) matching on a subset of files.
+*   Restrict change detection to a subset of files and directories:
+    *   Boolean output indicating that certain files have been changed.
+    *   Using [Glob pattern](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#filter-pattern-cheat-sheet) matching.
+        *   Brace expansion.
 
 ## Usage
 
 > NOTE: :warning:
 >
 > *   **IMPORTANT:** For `push` events you need to include `fetch-depth: 0` **OR** `fetch-depth: 2` depending on your use case.
-> *   When using `persist-credentials: false` with `actions/checkout@v2` you'll need to specify a `token` using the `token` input.
+> *   For monorepos where pulling all the branch history might not be desired, you can omit `fetch-depth` for `pull_request` events.
+> *   For files located in a sub-directory ensure that the pattern specified contains `**/` (globstar) to match any preceding directories or explicitly pass the full path relative to the project root. See: [#314](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/issues/314).
+> *   All multiline inputs should not use double or single quotes since the value is already a string seperated by a newline character. See [Examples](#examples) for more information.
+> *   Ensure that `persist-credentials` is set to `true` when configuring `actions/checkout` if `fetch-depth` isn't set to `0`.

+## Migration guide
+
+With the switch from using grep's Extended regex to match files to the natively supported workflow glob pattern matching syntax introduced in [v13](https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/releases/tag/v13) you'll need to modify patterns used to match `files`.
+
+**BEFORE**
+
+```yml
+...
+
+      - name: Get specific changed files
+        id: changed-files-specific
+        uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v12.2
+        with:
+          files: |
+            \.sh$
+            .(sql|py)$
+            ^(mynewfile|custom)
+```
+
+**AFTER**
+
+```yml
+...
+
+      - name: Get specific changed files
+        id: changed-files-specific
+        uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v24
+        with:
+          files: |
+            *.sh
+            *.sql
+            *.py
+            mynewfile
+            custom/**
