The connection state provides additional information about incremental syncs. It includes the most recent values for the global or stream-level cursors, which can aid in debugging or determining which data will be included in the next sync.

To review the connection state:

  1. In the Airbyte UI, click Connections and then click the connection you want to display.

  2. Click the Settings tab on the Connection page.

  3. Click the Advanced dropdown arrow.

Updates to connection state should be handled with extreme care. Updates may break your syncs, requiring a full historical sync of your data to fix. Make changes only as directed by the Airbyte team.

  2. Confirm changes by clicking "Update state". Discard any changes by clicking "Revert changes".

  3. Confirm the changes to the connection state update.
