A recent question came to my mind in another discussion in this forum and I thought it might be a good topic for discussion. Do you not believe that the Buddha’s views changed over time after his “awakening” ?

Whilst my knowledge of the Pali Canon does not allow me to have a fully informed view, my understanding has been that his
" enlightenment " allowed him to develop the concepts which he went on to develop teachings about - as such these were not views, and not what the Suttas predominately record, however did he express views and ideas as well ?
