# deactivate()

Reverts settings for the preset’s groups.

```
func deactivate()
```

## Discussion

When you call this function, the framework restores the group’s default state by removing the preset’s settings. The settings fade over the [`timeToReset`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASEGroupPreset/timeToReset) duration, and the engine removes the preset from [`activeGroupPreset`](/documentation/PHASE/PHASEEngine/activeGroupPreset).
