Abstract
We present updates to the MSHT approximate N3LO PDFs focusing upon recent developments, examining the impacts of newly determined splitting function and transition matrix element calculations, performed since the public MSHT20aN3LO PDF set was released. We observe only small changes to the output PDFs, at most of similar size to their quoted uncertainties and typically notably less. Finally, we also present the impacts on the PDF luminosities, where changes are generally further reduced.
