+There are new quality-of-life improvements in dbt Cloud for email and Slack notifications about your jobs: 
+
+- You can add external email addresses and send job notifications to them. External emails can be:
+    - Addresses that are outside of your dbt Cloud account
+    - Third-party integration addresses for configuring notifications to services like Microsoft Teams or PagerDuty 
+- You can configure notifications for multiple Slack channels. Previously, you could only configure one Slack channel. 
+- Any account admin can now edit slack notifications, not just the person who created them.

-- It's best practice any time we're updating our semantic layer code to run a `dbt parse && mf validate-configs`.
+Use [MetricFlow commands](/docs/build/metricflow-commands#metricflow) for metric validation or queries during development, and apply the following conventions based on your environment:
+
+- For dbt Cloud, use the `dbt sl` prefix before the command (such as, `dbt sl parse` or `dbt sl query`).

 - If everything passes, we can start querying this metric with `mf query`!
 - `mf query` is not how you would use the tool in production, that's handled by the dbt Cloud Semantic Layer's features. It's available for testing results of various metric queries in development, exactly as we're using it now.
 - Try `mf query --metrics revenue --group-by metric_time__day` and see a preview of the data come back.
-- Note the structure of the above query. We select the metric(s) we want and the dimensions to group them by — we use dunders (double underscores e.g.`metric_time__[time bucket]`) to designate time dimensions or other non-unique dimensions that need a specified entity path to resolve (e.g. if you have a orders location dimension and a employee location dimension both named 'location' you would need dunders to specify `orders__location` or `employee__location`).
