It would be nice to have a built-in one-click orphan/unused-tab cleanup tool in a document. It could clean up any part tab not used in any assembly. Maybe it could have an option to specify the parent assembly in the document, and it would delete every part or assembly tab that is not a descendant of that parent assembly?
We build machines in Onshape. As we design, we import and design many parts that get dropped during iteration. It is difficult to manually go through the tab manager to remove all of the subassemblies and parts that were removed from the machine at some point.

That might be useful in scenarios where parts aren't shared across documents. For now, I usually keep an IMPORTED PARTS folder in the tab bar, where all imported parts go, so I know where to find them. That doesn't automate cleanup, but at least makes it more targeted.
