The projectdoc Site Indexer is required after the database has been restored, a space has been imported, or for some reason the index is corrupt. This reindex may also be required if the algorithm for storing information by the projectdoc Toolbox in the Lucene index has been changed. The fact that this procedure is required after an update will be provided in the release notes of each version.

Not only needs the Lucene index be updated, but also the projectdoc caches need to be cleared and the projectdoc internal structure needs to be updated. Since the projectdoc Toolbox has no control over the standard Lucene Reindex Process, a projectdoc Reindex is required to be started via the projectdoc REST API. This can be done selectively on projectdoc spaces or on the complete site.

Note that the regular Lucene Reindex Process does no harm on the projectdoc document information in the database. Since the document are processed in random order, the contents of the properties may not be up-to-date. A reindex with the projectdoc Site Reindex will update the internal structures, the Lucene Index, and the cache.
