Changes to the content you receive can be released in one of two ways.

# Dynamic Change 

These will be an addition of a column to an existing feed file or an entirely new feed file. **Column additions will always be added to the end of a file (i.e., if a file currently has 6 columns, the additional column would be the 7th in the file).**

:::hint{type="warning"}
To avoid breaking your ingestion processes, it is strongly recommended to write your load script in such a way that it accommodates both these types of additions. 
:::

# Versioned Change 

These will be the removal of a column from an existing feed file, the removal of a feed file entirely, or a change in the data type of a column in an existing feed file. 

**Such changes will always be provided in a completely new feed **denoted by an increment in the version number in the feed’s file path. 

:::hint{type="info"}
When a new version of a feed is made available, you will have a defined period to upgrade. During this period, both the new and previous versions of the feed will be available.
