We are looking into turing on Automatic tuning in Azure SQL Database (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-sql/database/automatic-tuning-overview?view=azuresql) and use all 3 available options. Does the create index option reorganise or rebuild the index from time to time? I can't find any documentation on how the index that is created is maintained. Can someone please point me to such documentation?

Automatic Tuning on Azure SQL Database does not do maintenance of indexes and statistics. Here a Microsoft Engineer states that in most scenarios is not needed, but in the same forum thread I shared my experience step-by-step with images on how you can schedule a database maintenance on Azure SQL.
