Do dataflows use query folding when using incremental refresh?
I don't see the answer in any of the data flow incremental refresh documentation, and I cannot find a place to check if each step keeps the native query, like you can in desktop, so I wanted to confirm before moving forward.
Is a native query even required for dataflow incremental refresh?
Hi @mmyers2
Please check if below article could help you.

Regards,
That article does not specifiy if dataflows have the same requirements as the incremental refresh setup in the service (query folding).
