Maintenance (last option in the Settings)

Reset tips

Helpful tips are shown on some screens; you can disable them when read. Choose this option to re-enable all of them.

Cleanup Files

Cleans up some temporary files: logs, upgrade backup files and any orphaned cover images.

Clear the node state for all lists

Each bookshelf/style will store the state of the nodes in the displayed book-list, i.e. which nodes are collapsed or expanded. This option clears/resets that state globally.

Synchronize deleted books

All books will be checked versus the stored identifiers for previously deleted books and removed as needed. This uses the same process as what can be done during an import with the "Synchronise deleted books" option.

Clear the deleted books history

Remove all information about previously deleted books. This will allow the import/restore of a previously deleted book without automatically removing it again.

Rebuild Full Text Search (FTS) data

Not normally needed, it will clear and rebuild the entire local search-data and should only be used if requested to do so in a GitHub issue.

Rebuild the indexes

Not normally needed, it will clear and rebuild the database indexes and should only be used if requested to do so in a GitHub issue.

Bug report

When reporting an issue on GitHub it's recommended to first generate a bug-report with the options "logs" and "preferences". A zip file will be generated which you then should attach to your issue on GitHub.
