Hey guys,

Hope you’re doing well.  
I’ve seen somewhere that new models aren’t added automatically to forest project (models folder).  
Is there a script (command ?) to run to sync the models with the db ?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Have a nice day,  
Nadia

Hi @nadiab,

Indeed models files are not automatically updated and requires a manual update.

If you want to do it automatically, you can perform a `lumber update` command on your local environment. This should update your models according to new changes you made in your database.

You’ll just need to have a `lumber` [version](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/lumber) 4 or above.

Best regards,
