+### Updated
+- Updated Plotly.js from version 2.30.0 to version 2.31.1. See the [plotly.js CHANGELOG](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2311----2024-04-15) for more information. These changes are reflected in the auto-generated `plotly.graph_objects` module. Notable changes include:
+  - Add `zorder` attribute to various cartesian traces for controlling stacking order of SVG traces drawn into a subplot [[#6918](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6918), [#6953](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6953)],
+    This feature was anonymously sponsored: thank you to our sponsor!
+  - Add "between" option to shape layer for placing them above grid lines and below traces [[#6927](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6927)],
+    with thanks to @my-tien for the contribution!
+  - Add "raw" `sizemode` to cone trace [[#6938](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6938)]
+  - Add `layout.hoversubplots` to enable hover effects across multiple cartesian suplots sharing one axis [[#6947](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6947), [#6950](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/6950)]

+
+You can move a trace in front of or behind another trace by setting its `zorder`. All traces have a default `zorder` of `0`. In the following example, we set `zorder` on the bar trace to `1` to move it in front of the scatter trace.

+#### Hover on Subplots
+
+*New in 5.21*
+
+Use `hoversubplots` to define how hover effects expand to additional subplots. With `hoversubplots=axis`, hover effects are included on stacked subplots using the same axis when `hovermode` is set to `x`, `x unified`, `y`, or `y unified`.
+
+```python
+import plotly.graph_objects as go
+import pandas as pd
+from plotly import data
+
+df = data.stocks()
+
+layout = dict(
+    hoversubplots="axis",
+    title="Stock Price Changes",

+)

+    go.Scatter(x=df["date"], y=df["AAPL"], xaxis="x", yaxis="y", name="Apple"),
+    go.Scatter(x=df["date"], y=df["GOOG"], xaxis="x", yaxis="y2", name="Google"),
+    go.Scatter(x=df["date"], y=df["AMZN"], xaxis="x", yaxis="y3", name="Amazon"),
+]
+
+fig = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
+
+fig.show()
+```
+
 ### Customizing Hover Label Appearance
 
 Hover label text and colors default to trace colors in hover modes other than `unified`, and can be globally set via the `layout.hoverlabel` attributes. Hover label appearance can also be controlled per trace in `<trace>.hoverlabel`.

+#### Trace Zorder
+
+*New in 5.21*
+
+For many trace types, including `go.Scatter`, you can define the order traces are drawn in by setting a `zorder`. Traces with a higher `zorder` appear at the front, with traces with a lower `zorder` at the back. In this example, we give our trace for 'France' the highest `zorder`, meaning it is drawn in front of the other two traces:
+
+```python
+import plotly.graph_objects as go
+import plotly.data as data
+
+df = data.gapminder()
+
+df_europe = df[df['continent'] == 'Europe']
+
+trace1 = go.Scatter(x=df_europe[df_europe['country'] == 'France']['year'], 
+                    y=df_europe[df_europe['country'] == 'France']['lifeExp'], 
+                    mode='lines+markers', 
+                    zorder=3,
+                    name='France',
+                    marker=dict(size=15))
+
