+### What changed?
+
+If the `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable on a main instance does not match the `encryptionKey` in the config file, the main instance will not initialize. If the `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable is missing on a worker, the worker will not initialize.
+
+### When is action necessary?
+
+If passing an `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable to the main instance, make sure it matches the `encryptionKey` in the config file. If you are using workers, pass the `N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable to them.
