In plain English
This means putting settings back to the built-in starting values. Those values are the program's or system's own standard choices, not later changes.
In context
Here, "restore defaults" requests that the software put the layout or settings back to the program's or system's original standard values.
- Situation
- Using dashboards, tables, filters, sorting, views, and bulk controls
- What it communicates
- requests a return to the standard layout or settings
Meaning limits
The term by itself does not say which settings are included, only that the affected software settings are reset to the original standard values.
Examples
“After changing the font size and alert sounds, Leo restored the calendar app's defaults.”
“When the panels are scattered across the screen, restore defaults for the layout.”
