- [person data export](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/issues/20339).
- Export person properties on events (`event.person_properties`) with [custom schemas](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/issues/20367).

Note: Our implementation of person ids on events (`event.person_id`) is eventually consistent, which for batch export destinations means joining event `distinct_id` with the person data export.

I would omit this note. It's not wrong it's just that we don't have a person data export (as stated above). Eventually, once we develop the person model export this will be the way to go. As it stands, this note seems confusing.

I need this section to answer why we're not exporting person_id as that's the user question
