 ## Staging environment
 
 dbt Explorer supports views for [staging deployment environments](/docs/deploy/deploy-environments#staging-environment), in addition to the production environment. This gives you a unique view into your pre-production data workflows, with the same tools available in production, while providing an extra layer of scrutiny.

Supported options are `ignore` (default), `invalidate` (replaces the legacy `invalidate_hard_deletes=true`), and `new_record`. Note that `new_record` will create a new metadata column in the snapshot table.

 - **Fix**: Job environment variable overrides in credentials are now respected for Exports. Previously, they were ignored.
 - **Behavior change**: If you use a custom microbatch macro, set a [`require_batched_execution_for_custom_microbatch_strategy` behavior flag](/reference/global-configs/behavior-changes#custom-microbatch-strategy) in your `dbt_project.yml` to enable batched execution. If you don't have a custom microbatch macro, you don't need to set this flag as dbt will handle microbatching automatically for any model using the [microbatch strategy](/docs/build/incremental-microbatch#how-microbatch-compares-to-other-incremental-strategies).

 - **Enhancement**: In the "Latest" release track in dbt Cloud, snapshots defined in SQL files can now use `config` defined in `schema.yml` YAML files. This update resolves the previous limitation that required snapshot properties to be defined exclusively in `dbt_project.yml` and/or a `config()` block within the SQL file. This will also be released in dbt Core 1.9.
 - **New**: In the "Latest" release track in dbt Cloud, the `snapshot_meta_column_names` config allows for customizing the snapshot metadata columns. This feature allows an organization to align these automatically-generated column names with their conventions, and will be included in the upcoming dbt Core 1.9 release.
 - **Enhancement**: the "Latest" release track in dbt Cloud infers a model's `primary_key` based on configured data tests and/or constraints within `manifest.json`. The inferred `primary_key` is visible in dbt Explorer and utilized by the dbt Cloud [compare changes](/docs/deploy/run-visibility#compare-tab) feature. This will also be released in dbt Core 1.9. Read about the [order dbt infers columns can be used as primary key of a model](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/blob/7940ad5c7858ff11ef100260a372f2f06a86e71f/core/dbt/contracts/graph/nodes.py#L534-L541).
