Data Model(s)	Change type	Old	New	Notes
All models	`source_relation` column (when using a single LinkedIn Pages schema)	Empty string (`''`)	`<database>.<schema>`

Introduces the new (recommended) linkedin_pages_sources variable for more robust union data configuration. The old linkedin_pages_union_schemas and linkedin_pages_union_databases variables will still be supported. See the README for specific details.

Adds the fivetran_using_source_casing variable for case-sensitive destination support. When enabled, downstream transformations respect source casing to ensure consistent results. See the Additional Configurations section of the README for details.
Introduces fivetran_utils.partition_by_source_relation to conditionally include source_relation in partition clauses only when multiple sources are configured.
Removed unnecessary --depends-on config within stg_linkedin_pages__organization_tmp.

19 total changes • 13 of which are breaking in the form of materialization updates

Data Model(s)	Change type	Old	New	Notes
`stg_linkedin_pages__organization` `stg_linkedin_pages__organization_ugc_post` `stg_linkedin_pages__post_content` `stg_linkedin_pages__share_statistic` `stg_linkedin_pages__ugc_post_history` `stg_linkedin_pages__ugc_post_share_statistic` (as well as the upstream tmp models for each model)	Materialization	Table	View	Breaking: These staging models are now views. Upon full refresh, the package will automatically drop the tables and recreate them as views. However, we recommend reviewing your schema and manually dropping any remaining staging models materialized as tables as they will no longer be updated in favor of the materialized views.
`linkedin_pages__posts`	Renamed column	`ugc_post_id`	`post_id`	Breaking: Column renamed to reflect that the model now includes both UGC posts and shares.
`linkedin_pages__posts`	Data expansion	UGC posts only	UGC posts + shares	Model now includes both UGC posts and LinkedIn shares.
`linkedin_pages__posts`	Added column		`content_type`	Indicates whether the post is from 'ugc' (UGC post) or 'share' (LinkedIn share).
`stg_linkedin_pages__organization_share`	New model			Mapping table between organizations and shares.
`stg_linkedin_pages__share_content`	New model			Content of shares (articles, images, polls, text).
`stg_linkedin_pages__share_history`	New model			Version history of shares with metadata.
`stg_linkedin_pages__share_share_statistic`	New model			Mapping between shares and share statistics.

Added seed files for new LinkedIn data sources, as well as designed column types to ensure no data type confusion errors.
Share URNs are formatted downstream with the urn:li:share:<id> format to ensure Linkedin URLs properly link to social share posts.
Added consistency test to compare linkedin_pages__posts.

In the quickstart.yml file:
- Adds table_variables for relevant sources to prevent missing sources from blocking downstream Quickstart models.
- Adds supported_vars for Quickstart UI customization.

Removed extra tab spacing within the src_linkedin_pages.yml and stg_linkedin_pages.yml to resolve a potential error when persisting docs.
