# Paradime State now covers snapshots and full refreshes
> Paradime State now makes dbt snapshot state-aware, supports dbt build --full-refresh, runs snapshots after their models, and falls back to plain dbt™.
*September 30, 2026*
**Private preview.** Paradime State is in private preview. To get early access for your workspace, reach out to the Paradime team at [support@paradime.io](mailto:support@paradime.io).
[Paradime State](/guides/paradime-state/index) now covers more of your project, and it steps aside safely when it can't help.
* **`dbt snapshot` is state-aware.** Each snapshot is decided the way it already was inside `dbt build`, so an unchanged snapshot can be skipped instead of always running. `dbt seed` and `dbt test` on their own still run as plain dbt™.
* **`dbt build --full-refresh` works.** It used to fail when the build included snapshots or tests. Snapshots still run, and keep their history. `--resource-type` and `--exclude-resource-type` on `dbt build` also work, and choose which steps run.
* **Snapshots run after the models they read.** In a `dbt build`, a snapshot that reads a model rebuilt in the same build now runs with the models, so it captures the new version of the data. A first build into an empty schema no longer fails on a table that doesn't exist yet.
* **A compile error no longer fails the run.** If your project can't be compiled for Paradime State, the command runs as plain dbt™, and the summary says that State stood aside and why.
* **A summary you can trust.** `executed` counts only what dbt™ reported as built, and a new `not built` line lists anything a failed step didn't build.
* **Faster on Snowflake.** The check for changed source data sends one metadata query per database instead of one per schema.
The first state-aware run after this update runs every data test once, because tests are now compared by their definition rather than their compiled SQL. See [Read a run](/guides/paradime-state/read-a-run) and [Troubleshooting](/guides/paradime-state/troubleshooting). Shipped in Paradime v6.17.0.
