Sync Schema

How to sync schema changes to NocoDB​

NocoDB allows you to sync schema changes if you have made changes outside NocoDB GUI. However, it has to be noted then you will have to bring your own schema migrations for moving from one environment to other.

Below are the steps to sync schema changes.

1. From the Project dashboard > Data Sources, click Sync Metadata​

Notes​

  1. Column rename operation will be treated like column delete & column create operation.
  2. Only table schema changes identified will be listed under Sync state. Any changes to records are automatically synchronized.
