+Converting any warnings to errors may suit your needs perfectly, but there may be some warnings you just don't care about, and some you care about a lot. The `WARN_ERROR_OPTIONS` config gives you more granular control over _exactly which types of warnings_ are treated as errors. 
+
+<VersionBlock lastVersion="1.7">
+
+Warnings that should be treated as errors can be specified through `include` and/or `exclude` parameters. Warning names can be found in [dbt-core's types.py file](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/blob/main/core/dbt/events/types.py), where each class name that inherits from `WarnLevel` corresponds to a warning name (e.g. `AdapterDeprecationWarning`, `NoNodesForSelectionCriteria`).
+
+The `include` parameter can be set to `"all"` or `"*"` to treat all warnings as exceptions, or to a list of specific warning names to treat as exceptions. When `include` is set to `"all"` or `"*"`, the optional `exclude` parameter can be set to exclude specific warnings from being treated as exceptions.

+
+- Use the `silence` parameter to ignore warnings through project flags, without needing to re-specify the silence list every time. For example, to silence deprecation warnings or certain warnings you want to ignore across your project, you can specify them in the `silence` parameter. This is useful in large projects where certain warnings aren't critical and can be ignored to keep the noise low and logs clean.
