If declarative customizations are not well organized, what is recommended?

• A. Hold off on any more efforts to untangle your org because it will be too complex.
• B. Run the Optimizer to get basic suggestions for improvement.
• C. Identify one or two projects focused on cleaning up existing customizations.
• D. B and C

Answer: (D)

When declarative customizations are not well organized, you want a plan that gives you both direction and tangible progress. Running the Optimizer provides quick, baseline suggestions for improvement—like identifying unused elements, simplifying dependencies, and standardizing metadata. At the same time, picking one or two cleanup projects gives you concrete scope to tackle existing clutter, so you can start delivering measurable benefits and build momentum. This combination works well because you don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis, and you don’t rush into sweeping changes without a clear roadmap. The Optimizer guides where to focus, while targeted cleanup projects demonstrate value and establish a path for ongoing governance.
