Hi,

When ForestAdmin was first setup, it automatically connected to my SQL database and generate the project template which includes the /models directory.

Since then I’ve done a number of migrations on the database, so I’m wondering is there an easy way to have Forest update that directory again?

Thanks

Hi @forestdan !  
If you used lumber to generate your models, you can update them via the `lumber update` command.  
you can read more about this [here](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/models#updating-your-models-automatically) or watch [this tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I2aWQ9E1Rc).
