After migration, I had a problem with canonical URLs still pointing to the staging site. A quick ‘Reset Indexables & Migrations’ and everything was back to normal! Thank you for this indispensable tool.

One week trying to find how to solve 404’s around content translated with WPML that Yoast was messing around with till I found that. Installed this plugin, made a reset on Yoast tables and plugins, made a new onboarding and a new optimization of the plugin (same process like when you install it for the first time) and everything solved in 15 minutes. And without losing any canonicals, titles, or descriptions. Thanks for this little plugin team Yoast!
