Manual reindex is not available

[WZ_OZES]

There should be an action called "Reindex Data" in the action manual under Index Management according to user manual, but I don't seem to have it. I am using Magento CE 2.30 and pretty certain I am reading manual for Magento Open Source 2.3.

Hello @WZ_OZES 

Yes i have compare both Magento 2.3.0 Version and its user guide as well - https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/system/index-management.html

You are correct - on the user guide they have mentioned that we can do reindexing from the action tab by choosing reindex option.

But may be that's the typo error ! because in magento 2 ( Any version ) We don't have option to do reindexing from the backend !

We always needs to reindexing from the command line terminal by running - php bin/magento indexer:reindex command.

Hope it helps !

Hello @WZ_OZES 

@Manthan Dave  is correct, there is no way you can reindex from backend in default Magento 2.

However if you would like to use this free extension available on github

You might want to use any extension from Adobe Commerce Marketplace. One of the extension which I have used is https://commercemarketplace.adobe.com/cssoft-manuallyreindexing.html 

I used in Magento 2.4.7 and it works

In Magento 2.3, the option to manually reindex data from the Admin Panel is not available. Instead, you need to use the command line (CLI) to reindex your data.

To do this, connect to your server via SSH and navigate to your Magento installation folder. Then, run the following command:

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

If you want a manual reindex option in the Admin Panel, you can use a third-party extension like "Manual Reindex and Indexers Reset." This adds a Reindex Now button to the backend.

Another option is to set up a cron job to reindex automatically at scheduled times. This ensures your store runs smoothly without manual reindexing.
