These bundled actions are a point-in-time snapshot of the official actions found at https://github.com/actions; as a result, these actions may be older versions that can be updated. To update these actions, you can use `actions-sync` to retrieve updated versions from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.
Alternatively, if your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance has {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %} enabled, then you have additional options for using the latest actions from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}:

Once configured, you can use a new version of an action from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} by manually specifying the required version in the workflow file. For example, to use version `v2.2.1` of `actions/setup-python` from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, you can specify the tag `actions/setup-python@v2.2.1` in your workflow file.
### Using the latest version by removing the specific action's tag
{% data reusables.github-actions.actions-github-connect-requirement %}
If you remove the version tag that was previously assigned to an action, {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} will check {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} for the required tag. For more information on working with tags, see "[Viewing tags](/github/administering-a-repository/viewing-your-repositorys-releases-and-tags#viewing-tags)."
For example, to use version `v2.2.1` of `actions/setup-python` from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}:
1. In {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, delete the `v2` tag from the `actions/setup-python` repository.
1. Create a workflow that uses `actions/setup-python` with the `v2` tag.
When the workflow is unable to find the specified `v2` tag on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, it checks {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} for the required tag. If it finds a tagged version of that action, {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} uses the version from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.
