# Reconstruct tags & optionally files of series

`POST /series/{id}/reconstruct`

Reconstruct the main DICOM tags in DB of the series whose Orthanc identifier is provided in the URL. This is useful if child studies/series/instances have inconsistent values for higher-level tags, in order to force Orthanc to use the value from the resource of interest. Beware that this is a time-consuming operation, as all the children DICOM instances will be parsed again, and the Orthanc index will be updated accordingly.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `ReconstructFiles` boolean — Also reconstruct the files of the resources (e.g: apply IngestTranscoding, StorageCompression). 'false' by default. (New in Orthanc 1.11.0)

## Response `200`
