If a new pair_style command is specified with the same style, then If a new pair_style command is specified with the same style, then
only the global settings in that command are reset. Any previous only the global settings in that command are reset. Any previous
doc:`pair_coeff <pair_coeff>` and :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` doc:`pair_coeff <pair_coeff>` and :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>`
command settings are preserved. This makes it easy, for example, to command settings are preserved. The only exception is that if the
only change the global cutoff if desired. global cutoff in the pair_style command is changed, it will override
the corresponding cutoff in any of the previous doc:`pair_modify
<pair_coeff>` commands.
Two exceptions to this are the pair_style *table* and *hybrid* Two pair styles which do not follow this rule are the pair_style
commands. A new pair_style command for these styles will wipe out all *table* and *hybrid* commands. A new pair_style command for these
previously specified pair_coeff or pair_modify values, including for styles will wipe out all previously specified doc:`pair_coeff
the sub-styles of the *hybrid* command. <pair_coeff>` and :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` settings, including
for the sub-styles of the *hybrid* command.
