what is airbyte connection state

The Airbyte 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 in the Airbyte UI, you can follow these steps: 1. 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. The Connection State displays. You can also edit the connection state to allow the sync to start from any date in the past. If the state is edited, Airbyte will start syncing incrementally from the new date. This is helpful if you do not want to fully resync your data. However, updates to connection state should be handled with extreme care as they may break your syncs, requiring a full historical sync of your data to fix. To edit the connection state: 1. Click anywhere in the Connection state to start editing. 2. Confirm changes by clicking "Update state". Discard any changes by clicking "Revert changes". 3. Confirm the changes to the connection state update. For more details, you can refer to the [official documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/manage-connection-state).
