+This change adds an API endpoint for requesting a catalog refresh at `/refresh`, which is activated if a `CatalogProcessingEngine` is passed to `createRouter`.
+The creation of the router has been abstracted behind the `CatalogBuilder` to simplify usage and future changes. The following changes are **changes are required** to your `catalog.ts`.
+
+```diff
+-  import {
+-    CatalogBuilder,
+-    createRouter,
+-  } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
++  import { CatalogBuilder } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
+
+  export default async function createPlugin(
+    env: PluginEnvironment,
+  ): Promise<Router> {
+    const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
+-    const {
+-      entitiesCatalog,
+-      locationAnalyzer,
+-      processingEngine,
+-      locationService,
+-    } = await builder.build();
++   const { processingEngine, router } = await builder.build();
+    await processingEngine.start();
+
+-   return await createRouter({
+-     entitiesCatalog,
+-     locationAnalyzer,
+-     locationService,
+-     logger: env.logger,
+-     config: env.config,
+-   });
++   return router;
+  }
