+By default, dbt parses all the files in your project at the beginning of every dbt invocation. Depending on the size of your project, this operation can take a long time to complete. With the new partial parsing feature in dbt Cloud, you can reduce the time it takes for dbt to parse your project. When enabled, dbt Cloud parses only the changed files in your project instead of parsing all the project files. As a result, your dbt invocations will take significantly less time to run.

 Parse-time attributes (dependencies, configs, and resource properties) are resolved using the parse-time context. When partial parsing is enabled, and certain context variables change, those attributes will _not_ be re-resolved, and are likely to become stale.
 
-In particular, you may see **incorrect results** if these attributes depend on "volatile" context variables, such as [`run_started_at`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/run_started_at), [`invocation_id`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/invocation_id), or [flags](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/flags). These variables are likely (or even guaranteed!) to change in each invocation. We _highly discourage_ you from using these variables to set parse-time attributes (dependencies, configs, and resource properties).
+In particular, you may see **incorrect results** if these attributes depend on "volatile" context variables, such as [`run_started_at`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/run_started_at), [`invocation_id`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/invocation_id), or [flags](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/flags). These variables are likely (or even guaranteed!) to change in each invocation. dbt Labs _strongly discourages_ you from using these variables to set parse-time attributes (dependencies, configs, and resource properties).
 
 Starting in v1.0, dbt _will_ detect changes in environment variables. It will selectively re-parse only the files that depend on that [`env_var`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/env_var) value. (If the env var is used in `profiles.yml` or `dbt_project.yml`, a full re-parse is needed.) However, dbt will _not_ re-render **descriptions** that include env vars. If your descriptions include frequently changing env vars (this is highly uncommon), we recommend that you fully re-parse when generating documentation: `dbt --no-partial-parse docs generate`.

+If you're triggering [CI](/docs/deploy/continuous-integration) job runs, the partial parsing benefits are not available on a new pull request (PR) or new branch. However, they are available on subsequent commits to that new PR or branch. 
 
 If you ever get into a bad state, you can disable partial parsing and trigger a full re-parse by setting the `PARTIAL_PARSE` global config to false, or by deleting `target/partial_parse.msgpack` (e.g. by running `dbt clean`).

+### Partial parsing
+
+At the start of every dbt invocation, dbt reads all the files in your project, extracts information, and constructs an internal manifest containing every object (model, source, macro, and so on). Among other things, it uses the `ref()`, `source()`, and `config()` macro calls within models to set properties, infer dependencies, and construct your project's DAG. When dbt finishes parsing your project, it stores the internal manifest in a file called `partial_parse.msgpack`. 
+
+Parsing projects can be time-consuming, especially for large projects (for example, a project with hundreds of models and thousands of files). To reduce the time it takes dbt to parse your project, use the partial parsing feature in dbt Cloud for your environment. When enabled, dbt Cloud uses the `partial_parse.msgpack` file to determine which files have changed (if any) since the project was last parsed. Then, instead of parsing all project files, it _only_ parses the changed files or the files related to those changes.
+
+The partial parsing feature does have some known limitations. Refer to [Known limitations](/reference/parsing#known-limitations) to learn more about them.
+
+To enable, select **Account settings** from the gear menu and enable the **Partial parsing** option.
