 ## API Versioning
 
-The REST API is versioned since Paperless-ngx 1.3.0.
+The REST API is versioned.
 
 -   Versioning ensures that changes to the API don't break older
     clients.
 -   Clients specify the specific version of the API they wish to use
     with every request and Paperless will handle the request using the
     specified API version.
--   Even if the underlying data model changes, older API versions will
-    always serve compatible data.
--   If no version is specified, Paperless will serve version 1 to ensure
-    compatibility with older clients that do not request a specific API
-    version.
+-   Even if the underlying data model changes, supported older API
+    versions continue to serve compatible data.
+-   If no version is specified, Paperless serves the configured default
+    API version (currently `10`).
+-   Supported API versions are currently `9` and `10`.
 
 API versions are specified by submitting an additional HTTP `Accept`
 header with every request:
 
 ```
-Accept: application/json; version=6
+Accept: application/json; version=10
 ```
 
-If an invalid version is specified, Paperless 1.3.0 will respond with
-"406 Not Acceptable" and an error message in the body. Earlier
-versions of Paperless will serve API version 1 regardless of whether a
-version is specified via the `Accept` header.
+If an invalid version is specified, Paperless responds with
+`406 Not Acceptable` and an error message in the body.
 
 If a client wishes to verify whether it is compatible with any given
 server, the following procedure should be performed:
 
-1.  Perform an _authenticated_ request against any API endpoint. If the
-    server is on version 1.3.0 or newer, the server will add two custom
