During development, the cms offers a handy feature: Resetting all data back to a defined initial state.

You execute a complete reset by calling the /reset route:

http://myhost/reset

This feature is turned off by default, to enable during development, enable the reset route in your project's application.conf:

cms.enableResetRoute = true

Important: Of course you need to make absolutely sure that this feature is turned off in production environments. We recommend using a un-versioned, local local.conf file which is included in the project's main application.conf, and to set the reset option there.

Calling the reset route will 

1. Initialize all data, deleting existing data: Bootstrapper#loadEssentialData();
2. Add fresh example data: Bootstrapper#loadExampleData();

You can and should extend these methods in your bootstrap subclass, and reset / re-add your own data.
