@rkistner I'm not entirely sure if anything else is required here w.r.t explanation - it's pretty self explanatory but let me know if there's anything you want me to add

| # Data Model |

Don't have a strong opinion here, but I feel like we generally refer to "schema" as opposed to "data model" - so might want to be consistent (though I did see another "data model" ref in the docs now, which we could update too)

Will update to schema as data model is technically not the correct term to use, but I feel like schema and data model have become synonymous

| With the data mode updated, we now need a method to synchronize and map the `list_id` and `list_uuid` in the `todos` table, with the `id` and `uuid` columns in the `lists` table. |

typo "data mode". should update to schema or data model based on decision above

| # Introduction | ||
| When auto-incrementing / sequential IDs are used on the backend database, the ID can only be generated on the backend database, and not on the client while offline. | ||
| To handle this, you can use a secondary UUID on the client, then map them to a sequential ID when performing an update on the backend database. |

"when performing an update on the backend database" - can we maybe make this clearer by saying "when uploading the record to the backend database" - or is that not technically correct? the current wording makes me think this mapping happens on any update to the backend database

That actually comes from our existing docs (I just updated server to backend database):

I guess there is some level of ambiguity here since the mapping will only occur when either FK columns are updated and not when "any" update occurs.

Here it would be good to mention it's the backend/remote schema/data model specifically, since it doesn't look like we're updating anything on the client-side schema (yet)

We update the client-side schema here.
Edit: Now that I think about it, the Schema section will only refer to the backend schema and not any client-side changes, so I can rename it to Backend Schema?

Should this be create statements? We're saying "update" above, so that's why I'm a bit confused.
