+### The Database seems not to be updated. What can I do?
+
+Please have a look at the Admin panel under [DB updates](/admin/dbsync/) and follow the link to *check database structure*.
+This will start a background process to check if the structure is up to the current definition.
+
+You can manually execute the structure update from the CLI in the base directory of your Friendica installation by running the following script:
+
+    scripts/dbstructure.php update
