You need to make an architectural decision in your data flow to accept schema drift throughout your flow. When you do this, you can protect against schema changes from the sources. However, you'll lose early-binding of your columns and types throughout your data flow. Azure Data Factory treats schema drift flows as late-binding flows, so when you build your transformations, the drifted column names won't be available to you in the schema views throughout the flow.

Columns coming into your data flow from your source definition are defined as "drifted" when they are not present in your source projection. You can view your source projection from the projection tab in the source transformation. When you select a dataset for your source, ADF will automatically take the schema from the dataset and create a project from that dataset schema definition.
