# ResetAction

The ResetAction of each note is performed when beginning a new reading by choosing “Cover Page” from the Note menu. This action can be used to reset the initial conditions of each note. The action's code is stored in the note’s $ResetAction attribute. In some older documentation this action is referred to as the OnReset action.

Example: a story might initially have a locked door which readers cannot pass until they have acquired the corresponding key. During a reading, some readers might unlock this door; the ResetAction action ensures that the door is locked at the start of the new reading.
