# Clear all user edits on specified properties from a resource

`PUT /metadata/{owner}/resources/properties/clear`

This is an advanced operation and should be used with caution. The data.world catalog graph relies on a layered model that keeps the content from collected source systems separate from edits made by end users on the platform. This allows the collected source system data to update regularly without overwriting enrichment and curation efforts that are authored on data.world. Sometimes, however, it is desirable to overwrite the end user edits or let the source system metadata replace user edits. This endpoint can be used to clear a specific user-edited metadata field, restoring the source system values.
