Feature Description
Click the Restart Cardano Node button to restart the Cardano node which is running in the background.
After a few seconds, the node will start.
This feature is useful if you are having trouble with your network connection. Sometimes using this can resolve network issues. Restarting the node is not necessary if Daedalus is functioning properly. Restarting the node at any time will not cause any problems.
