# Resetting Report Viewer Settings

## Overview

When viewing a [Report](/v9/docs/reports), users can group and filter based on specific values. These changes made to a Report are not saved, and the Report will return to its default configuration if the page is refreshed. However, Reports can be reset without the need to refresh.

To clear all the Sorting on all the columns of a report,

1. Click on the Report Actions
2. Click on the "Clear All Sorts" icon on the action menu.
3. Any Sorting applied to the report will get cleared for the user.

**Note:**This will clear both user-applied and design-time sorting on all columns.
