Which action should you take after an upgrade to help locate content?

• A. Do nothing
• B. Manually rebuild the Content Indexes
• C. Clear all caches
• D. Upgrade the database schema

Answer: (B)

Content search relies on an up-to-date index. After an upgrade, the existing index may not reflect new content, changes in permissions, or updated indexing rules, which can make locating content unreliable. Rebuilding the Content Indexes refreshes the search data so pages, attachments, and restricted content appear correctly in results, and new features from the upgrade are properly reflected. Clearing caches helps performance but doesn’t fix indexing gaps, and upgrading the database schema is part of the upgrade process—not a targeted step to improve discoverability after the upgrade.
