 ## Additional Use Cases
 
+### Reset State
+
+Use the `reset()` method to reset the `<auro-input>`'s `value` and `validity` state. Doing so will preserve all other attributes and properties.

 ### Swapping Values Between Inputs
 
 Example illustrates using a JavaScript function attached to an `auro-button` component `click` event to swap the values of two `auro-input` elements. An example of this use case would be swapping the departure and arrival airports in a flight search form.
