+
+**BREAKING**: Renamed the `Header` component to `PluginHeader` for clarity.
+
+The following exports have been renamed:
+
+- `Header` → `PluginHeader`
+- `HeaderProps` → `PluginHeaderProps`
+- `HeaderDefinition` → `PluginHeaderDefinition`
+
+The `HeaderTab` type is unchanged as it is shared with `HeaderPage`.
+
+CSS class names have been updated from `bui-Header*` to `bui-PluginHeader*`.
+
+**Migration:**
+
+```diff
+-import { Header, HeaderDefinition } from '@backstage/ui';
++import { PluginHeader, PluginHeaderDefinition } from '@backstage/ui';
+
+-<Header title="My plugin" />
++<PluginHeader title="My plugin" />
+```
+
+**Affected components:** plugin-header
