What does the Rule Optimizer tile on the Home screen do?

Short answer: It shows when Storage Studio last reviewed your Mac for Auto Rules; click it to re-scan now and refresh suggestions. It also optimises quietly in the background while your Mac is idle, and can be paused.

The Rule Optimizer tile shows when Storage Studio last looked over your Mac to update its Auto Rules. Click it to re-scan right away and refresh the suggestions — useful after installing a big new app.

It also keeps optimising quietly in the background, only while your Mac is idle, and you can pause or resume that any time from the Auto Rules window.
