Automate the "geodatabase rebuild" troubleshooting process

When models start to behave erratically or sluggish, a common recommendation is to "rebuild the model geodatabase" as shown here: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Troubelshoot-Map-Issues.html


It would be great to have a tool in the Command Center that automates this process by blanking out the Map geodatabase and then repopulating it with the model data, without the need to create a new model entirely.


Additional suggestion: add a message that says "if this process does not resolve your performance issues, consider clearing out unused layers, layout tabs, or other files referenced in the ArcGIS Pro file."

    This has been released in version 2026.1. Use the "Update Map from Database" command and chose the option to rebuild the GDB if desired.
