Using Reset and Default Buttons in APG vNext Configuration
The APG vNext admin panel configuration screens include Reset and Set to Default buttons that control how configuration values are managed. Understanding what each button does and when to use it prevents accidental data loss and ensures that configuration changes are applied correctly without unintended side effects on the live forum.
Reset Button Behavior
The Reset button on a configuration panel discards any unsaved changes made to the current form and restores the displayed values to the last saved state. This is equivalent to reloading the configuration page without saving. Use Reset when you have made changes to a settings form and decide you want to abandon those changes before saving. Reset does not change the persisted settings in the database; it only reverts the form fields to their current saved values.
Set to Default Button Behavior
The Set to Default or Restore Defaults button restores configuration fields to the APG vNext installation default values hardcoded in the application for the current version. These defaults represent the recommended baseline configuration for a new installation. Unlike Reset, clicking Set to Default changes the values in the form fields immediately, and you must then save the form to persist these default values to the database. Review the values populated by Set to Default before saving to confirm they are appropriate for your community's specific configuration requirements.
When to Use Each Button
Use Reset to undo accidental changes made in a configuration form session before saving. Use Set to Default when a configuration has drifted into a problematic state and you want to start fresh from the known working baseline provided by APG vNext for the current version. For PGDCode-specific configuration screens, Set to Default is the appropriate tool when a code display rendering issue appears after custom configuration changes and you need to eliminate the custom configuration as a variable in your troubleshooting process.
