+## About Xero's granular scopes
+
+Xero is replacing its broad OAuth 2.0 scopes — most notably `accounting.transactions` — with a set of more granular scopes, so your app requests only the data it needs.
+
+If you create a new Xero app on or after **March 2, 2026**, you must use the new granular scopes from day one. If your app already exists, you can begin requesting the granular scopes from **April 2026**, and you must complete your migration by **September 2027**.
+
+Granular scopes aren't applied to existing tokens automatically. Because your app is requesting a different set of permissions, each customer connection requires fresh, explicit consent, and you'll need customers to reauthenticate with the granular apps.
+
+For full details, see Xero's [Granular Scopes FAQs](https://developer.xero.com/faq/granular-scopes) and the announcement post, [Upcoming changes to Xero accounting API scopes](https://devblog.xero.com/upcoming-changes-to-xero-accounting-api-scopes-705c5a9621a0).
