Should I shape before or after cold retarding?

Toast

I'm making a sourdough boule that calls for it to be refrigerated. Should I shape it and then put it in the fridge and wait til it comes back up to room temp and then bake it or should I shape it after taking it out of the fridge? Thanks!

Yes do the final shaping, place it in your banneton if you have one, then bake immediately after taking it out of the fridge cold.
