+## Improvements
+- Updated Navigator to load data via the STIX 2.1 Collection Index. See issue [#607](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/issues/607).
+	- Added the `collection_index_url` property to `config.json` which specifies the URL to the collection index. By default, it is set to [ATT&CK's STIX 2.1 Collection Index](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitre-attack/attack-stix-data/master/index.json). More information about Collection Indexes can be found [here](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-stix-data?tab=readme-ov-file#collection-indexes).
+	- Removed the hardcoded list of ATT&CK versions from the `versions` property in `config.json`. Support for this property is continued for loading custom versions of the dataset, integration with the ATT&CK Workbench, loading content from a TAXII server, and for offline hosting. For any issues encountered, please ensure the versions `enabled` property is set to `true` and the data is properly defined in the versions `entries` array.
+	- The `collection_index_url` property and/or the `versions` property must be defined for Navigator to load properly. When both properties are defined, the Navigator will display the union of the versions that are specified under the "More Options" dropdown in the "Create New Layer" interface. If neither are defined, the user will be alerted that the Navigator failed to load.
+- Added support for loading content from a TAXII 2.1 server. See issue [#277](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/issues/277). For more information on how to load content from TAXII 2.1 see _Loading content from a TAXII server_ in the [README](README.md).
+- Improved error handling when there is an issue loading the configuration file. See issue [#398](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/issues/398).

 The ATT&CK Navigator is hosted live via GitHub Pages. [You can find a live instance of the current version of the Navigator here](https://mitre-attack.github.io/attack-navigator). You can read more about how to use the application itself in the [USAGE](/USAGE.md) document (which is mirrored in the in-app help page).
 
-Version 4.0 of the ATT&CK Navigator supports all ATT&CK domains in a single instance of the application instead of requiring a different instance for each domain. It also sees the introduction of support for the ICS domain. See [the changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for more information.

-Additionally, older versions of ATT&CK can now be loaded in the application. The ATT&CK Navigator supports ATT&CK versions 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4. Older versions do not work in the application since their data model is too outdated.

-## Loading content from a TAXII server
+## Methods for loading content
+
+### Loading content from a Collection Index
+
+By default, the Navigator loads content from the ATT&CK Collection Index hosted on the [ATT&CK STIX Data repository](#related-mitre-work). More information about Collection Indexes can be found [here](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-stix-data?tab=readme-ov-file#collection-indexes).
+
+1. Modify the `config.json` file located in the `src/assets` directory.
+2. Set the `collection_index_url` property to the URL of your Collection Index (for example, `"collection_index_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitre-attack/attack-stix-data/master/index.json"`)
+
+*Note: For the Navigator to load successfully, either the `collection_index_url` property, the `versions` property, or both must be defined. If both the `collection_index_url` and `versions` properties are defined, the Navigator will display the union of the versions under the "More Options" dropdown in the "Create New Layer" interface. If neither are defined, an alert will be triggered indicating that the Navigator failed to load.*
 
-*By default, the Navigator loads content from ATT&CK STIX data hosted on the [MITRE/CTI repository](#related-mitre-work). Note: TAXII 2.1/STIX 2.1 bundles are **not** supported when loading content from a TAXII server.*
+### Loading content from a TAXII server
 
-1. Edit the `config.json` file in the **nav-app/src/assets** directory.
-2. Define the `taxii_url` property in place of the `data` property and set the value to your server's URL.
-3. Define the `taxii_collection` property and set the value to the collection UUIDs your TAXII server has set.
+Both TAXII 2.0 and TAXII 2.1 are currently supported. Support for TAXII 2.0 will be deprecated in December 2024. More information about the TAXII 2.1 Server can be found [here](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-workbench-taxii-server/tree/main).
 
-Example loading content from a TAXII server:
+1. Modify the `config.json` file located in the `src/assets` directory.
+2. In the `versions` section, set the `enabled` property to `true`.
+3. Define the `taxii_url` property in the list of domains, in place of the domain `data` property, and set its value to the TAXII server URL.
+4. Define the `taxii_collection` property and set its value to the collection UUID as determined by the TAXII server.
+
+#### Example loading content from a TAXII 2.0 server:

+				}
+			]
+		}
+	]
+},
 ```
 
-## Loading content from local files
+#### Example loading content from a TAXII 2.1 server:
 
-*It's possible to populate the the Navigator using files that consist of bundles of STIX objects, similarly to [this](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitre/cti/master/enterprise-attack/enterprise-attack.json) file. STIX 2.0 and STIX 2.1 bundles are supported.*
+```json
+"versions": {
+	"enabled": true,
+	"entries": [
+		{
+			"name": "Enterprise TAXII 2.1 Data",
+			"version": "14",
+			"domains": [
+				{

+					"taxii_url": "https://attack-taxii.mitre.org/",

+				}
+			]
+		}
+	]
+},
+```
 
-1. Put the stix bundles in `src/assets`. This will tell the server hosting the Navigator to host the data as well.
-2. Edit the `config.json` file in the **nav-app/src/assets** directory.
-3. Change the URL specified in the `data` array to the path to the STIX bundle (e.g `assets/enterprise-attack.json`). Multiple paths may be added to the `data` array to display multiple STIX bundles in a single instance.

+
+1. Place the STIX bundle(s) in the `src/assets` directory. This allows the server hosting the Navigator to also host the data.
+2. Modify the `config.json` file located in the `src/assets` directory.
+3. In the `versions` section, set the `enabled` property to `true`.
+4. Update the URL specified in the `data` array to the path to the STIX bundle (for example, `assets/enterprise-attack.json`). Multiple paths may be added to the `data` array to display multiple STIX bundles in a single instance.
