**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
I have a client who did an initial Mautic installation on 4.3 and upgraded to 4.4.12 by simply updating the Docker container, but he did not run any database migrations.

I just wanted to double check the correct path to resolve that. If I run mautic:update:apply --finish, will it resolve all the missing database migrations that were not done at any given moment? Or is doctrine:migrations:migrate the more correct way to resolve that? How can I find out what migrations are actually missing, and how is Mautic keeping track of that?
