# What are Reset, Cancel, and Clean localcache keywords?

- **Reset**: When the user sends this keyword during the workflow, the journey restarts from the Starting Node.
- **Cancel**: When the user sends this keyword, the workflow exits (user is no longer in the journey).
- **Clean localcache**: When the user sends this keyword, local variables for that user/session are cleared; global and other config are unchanged.

Configure them in **Settings → Workflow Config** on the canvas.
