## Trust levels of packages

The following levels are considered when evaluating package trust:

- **Trusted Publisher (with provenance)** (highest)
- **Provenance**
- **None**

When a package's trust level decreases (e.g., from Trusted Publisher to Provenance), it is flagged in the report.

### `provenance-action` GitHub Action

If you want more information on _why_ the trust level changed, or want to detect changes to the provenance information, we highly recommend using the [provenance-action](https://github.com/danielroe/provenance-action) in addition to this.

The provenance action will tell you exactly what changed in the provenance information. For example, if the repository changed between two versions.
