Pages
What changes
Why
The dbt Cloud connection's Tags field had no documentation, so readers didn't know it filters against the last successful dbt Cloud run and could sync "No models found" if no model in that run carried every tag.

Document the CLI's in-place preview credential refresh

What changes
method: iam:start-preview --nameon CLI 2.186.1+ refreshes expired creds in placeWarehouse credentials refreshedvsKeeping the warehouse credentials already storedoutputWhy
The docs told readers to "re-run aws sso login and lightdash preview" on expiry, which reads as recreating the preview and losing its content, when re-running start-preview with the same name on a current CLI refreshes credentials in place.
