About reloads, defaults and what's not listed
Settings marked Needs reload apply after a reload: the window says “Some changes need a reload” and offers Reload now. Defaults are shown where the addon's code states one; where it doesn't, none is shown.
Next release WoW Forever lets an addon reload only from a click on a secure button, so that's what Reload now and the Reload button in Vanguard's reload prompt are. That secure part can't be built during a fight: a Reload button made in combat gets it when the fight ends. Until then, clicking it doesn't reload; it says “Type /reload in chat to apply the change (the game only lets addons reload out of combat).”
Some rows only appear on some clients (for example the Specialization card on the Profiles page needs a client with specializations; the game's own click bindings need a client that has them). Lists that you fill in yourself (your profiles, your chat watch phrases, the bindings grid) aren't listed row by row.
