Continuing the discussion from [Can the Spark Core trigger the Reset Pin?](https://community.spark.io/t/can-the-spark-core-trigger-the-reset-pin/2693): I’ve read much of this lengthy thread but there are references to things changing over releases expected over coming months, and the thread is now several months old. Therefore, I am unsure as to the current state of the problem-solution. What is the best way to trigger a Reset from user code? A quick summary would likely be useful for others too. Anybody? ---

`System.reset()` is what you are looking for though i have no idea why is not in the docs 😃 ---

I’ve done all I can to rectify that. ---

I’m not sure what this even means. You asked a question and i provided the answer. ---

Thank you for the answer. I have updated the docs as best I can. Which is not very well at all, as I know nothing about this function, and I am not about to start reading the underlying code. That the documentation is incomplete is a REAL problem but it certainly keeps the forum alive, and that’s why we bought our Sparks, right? :-/ I’ve just spent half an hour reading the forum because System.reset() is not documented. So frustrating. ---

This has been added to docs: [https://github.com/spark/docs/commit/a27921a8ad53a1ae894fa1554327a191d21a94af](https://github.com/spark/docs/commit/a27921a8ad53a1ae894fa1554327a191d21a94af) Thanks! ---

That’s what I meant when I said I had done all I could to rectify the lack of documentation. Fortunately someone else has improved the contribution and added an example.
