Note: The MDES Pre-Digitization API is updated regularly with every effort made to retain backwards-compatibility as changes occur. To ensure forward-compatibility, all Pre-Digitization API client integrations must be resilient to the addition of new optional elements being added to requests and responses. Existing implementations should strive to keep updated to the latest API version available with each new MDES Platform Update release.
