MySQL Workbench- Forward Engineer not adding new column to schema

Question

When I create a new EER Diagram and use the Forward Engineer function it updates the localhost database and create the schema successfully. However, if I then go back to the EER diagram and add a new column, save the model and then try Forward Engineer again, the new column is not added to the database. I've tried pressing the refresh button multiple times as well as disconnecting from the database and then re-connecting and it still doesn't show up. The only way for me to add the new column using the EER diagram is to drop the schema, then run Forward Engineer to recreate the schema with the new column. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so what could the issue be?

Thanks

Answer 1

The answer for me was to use "Synchronize Model" instead of "Forward Engineer" from the Database Menu
