How to reset all manually overriden permissions for a flatpak?

Question

Let's say I've used flatpak override to add/change some permissions and now I (regret it) and want to restore/reset them. How can I do that?

CLI

It is a very good idea to first have a look at what you've changed.

For a specific app:

flatpak override --show my.app.id

For all apps:

flatpak override --show

Reset permissions for a single app:

flatpak override --reset my.app.id

Reset the global overrides:

flatpak override --reset

Since version 1.8.0 the Flatseal app supports modifying, displaying, and resetting global permissions.
