About 2-3 years ago, I had found that (at least in some situations) it was necessary to invoke the AppleScript action deconsolidate on indexed groups, to get DEVONthink to write additions back to the external folder. (I think the situation was that if you added an item into the indexed group, the item would only be stored in DEVONthink’s group and not the corresponding folder on disk, unless deconsolidation was invoked.) But now I realize that I haven’t been using that action for at least a year and yet things seem to be working just as desired anyway: if I add something to an indexed group in DEVONthink, it gets written to the external folder in the file system. So, is there a situation in the most recent versions of DEVONthink where deconsolidate is needed?
If you have disabled automatic deconsolidation via the hidden preference DisableAutomaticDeconsolidation, this could still be used for specific indexed groups.

That was the behaviour of version 2.x but is not the case anymore.
