Resetting a layout

When you reset a layout, all control styles that you have set for the controls on the form are discarded. All styles in the Control Styles dialog box are modified to inherit the settings from form styles and study styles.

Note: Text strings in the layout, including captions, notes, section titles, form titles, and codelist item label overrides, are not affected when you reset.
