+
+doc:
+  - audience: Runtime Dev
+    description: |
+      Version check in `HaulBlobExporter` uses new trait `CheckVersion` to check known/configured destination versions,
+      ensuring compatibility. `HaulBlobExporter` will attempt to downgrade the message to destination's known version
+      instead of using the latest version.
