-:::info
-
-Native rendering is not enabled by default. As such, the `as_text` filter has no functional effect.
-
-It is still possible to natively render specific values using the [`as_bool`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/as_bool), 
-[`as_number`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/as_number), and [`as_native`](/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/as_native) filters. 
-
-:::
-
-The `as_text` Jinja filter will coerce Jinja-compiled output back to text. It
-can be used in YAML rendering contexts where values _must_ be provided as
-strings, rather than as the datatype that they look like.
-
-
-### Usage
-
-In the example below, the `as_text` filter is used to assert that `''` is an
-empty string. In a native rendering, `''` would be coerced to the Python 
-keyword `None`. This specification is necessary in `v0.17.0`, but it is not
-useful or necessary in later versions of dbt.
-

-```yml
-models:
-  - name: orders
-    columns:
-      - name: order_status
-        tests:
-          - accepted_values:
-              values: ['pending', 'shipped', "{{ '' | as_text }}"]
-
-```
-
-</File>
-
-As of `v0.17.1`, native rendering does not occur by default, and the `as_text`
-specification is superfluous.
