Overview

If you, like every good developer, skipped the introduction and don’t yet have a clear understanding of what an instance is, I strongly suggest you take a step back and read the introduction to this topic. This feature works like your operating system’s restart button, useful for troubleshooting issues.
No! You do not need to scan the QRCode if you restart your instance.
