Schema reconciliation and processes

Apply schema changes responsibly when entries already exist.

WORKFLOWS

1

Review impact

When a definition change affects saved entries, the update flow previews its impact and can ask for decisions before it is saved.

2

Track background work

The Processes tab shows reconciliation and cleanup jobs. Schema deletion removes SQL data immediately and schedules known macro cleanup for affected pages.

Why reconciliation exists

Changing a schema does not silently rewrite every saved document. The update flow previews the impact of a definition change so an administrator can understand which entries need validation, repair or reindexing.

After save, background reconciliation processes work through affected entries. The Processes view is the place to monitor that work instead of assuming a large update is immediate.

Deletion and cleanup

Deleting a schema removes its SQL data immediately and schedules cleanup of known matching macros on affected pages. Review the impact carefully: deleting a schema is different from hiding a capture macro on one page.
