Clarification about "Clean up Categories"

In my understanding the "clean up categories" is updating the index according to the last category changes in the database. Can you confirm?

How often or when should I perform such clean up?

What is happening if I do not perform such clean up? Are - for instance - the shown categories no more up to date in the categories tab?

    Hi Alessandro,

    Regular clean-up should not be necessary. This should only occur during unexpected events. Example times to run it:
    • Not all or too many items show up in a category item list view ( if categories display in single item view but not the category list view )
    • Counts of categories applied or unapplied seem inaccurate ( in actions like deleting etc )
    • The historical categories "version applied" column is not displaying a number
