What type of customizer settings are reset?

Why did the plugin not reset a particular setting?

Setting is using option type for storing values

Is reset reversible?

Yes, if you use “Backup & Reset”! The plugin now offers a backup feature that stores your settings for 30 days. Use the “Backup & Reset” button to automatically create a backup before resetting.
