 The optional `unique_key` parameter specifies a field (or combination of fields) that defines the grain of your model. That is, the field(s) identify a single unique row. You can define `unique_key` in a configuration block at the top of your model, and it can be a single column name or a list of column names.
 
-The `unique_key` should be supplied in your model definition as a string representing a single column or a list of single-quoted column names that can be used together, for example, `['col1', 'col2', …])`. Columns used in this way should not contain any nulls, or the incremental model run may fail. Either ensure that each column has no nulls (for example with `coalesce(COLUMN_NAME, 'VALUE_IF_NULL')`), or define a single-column [surrogate key](https://www.getdbt.com/blog/guide-to-surrogate-key) (for example with [`dbt_utils.generate_surrogate_key`](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-utils#generate_surrogate_key-source)).

 :::tip
 In cases where you need multiple columns in combination to uniquely identify each row, we recommend you pass these columns as a list (`unique_key = ['user_id', 'session_number']`), rather than a string expression (`unique_key = 'concat(user_id, session_number)'`).
