title: Making schema changes
---
Some backend changes might require new/different fields or remove other fields. To create a new schema after changing a Serializer, run `make gen-build`.
This will update the `schema.yml` file in the root of the repository.
## Building the Go Client
The Go client is used by the Outpost to communicate with the backend authentik server. To build the go client, run `make gen-outpost`.
The generated files are stored in `/api` in the root of the repository.
## Building the Web Client
The web client is used by the web-interface and web-FlowExecutor to communicate with authentik. To build the client, run `make gen-web`.
Since the client is normally distributed as an npm package, running `make gen-web` will overwrite the locally installed client with the newly built one.
:::warning
Running `npm i` in the `/web` folder after using `make gen-web` will overwrite the custom client and revert to the upstream client.
