Unbundled Behavior Changes¶
Unbundled behavior changes are not associated or released with a behavior change bundle.
To help you manage your operations and minimize disruption to your Snowflake service, we document behavior changes that may impact your usage, including:
Upcoming pending changes that will not be part of a behavior change bundle and cannot be enabled in advance.
Recently implemented changes that were previously pending/disabled, were not part of a behavior change bundle, and cannot be disabled.
If you have questions about any of these behavior changes, please feel free to contact Snowflake Support.
Upcoming Pending Changes¶
The following table lists unbundled behavior changes that are pending. Pending unbundled behavior changes have not been released yet.

All information in this table, including planned versions and dates, is subject to change; the information is provided only as a guideline for any updates you need to make to accommodate the changes.
