+### How do I partially reset an Aggregate Reg?
+
+The easiest way is to use a partially-specified [Bundle Literal](#../appendix/experimental-features#bundle-literals)
+or [Vec Literal](#../appendix/experimental-features#vec-literals) to match the type of the Reg.
+
+```scala mdoc:silent:reset
+import chisel3._
+import chisel3.experimental.BundleLiterals._
+
+class MyBundle extends Bundle {
+  val foo = UInt(8.W)
+  val bar = UInt(8.W)
+}
+
+class MyModule extends Module {
+  // Only .foo will be reset, .bar will have no reset value
+  val reg = RegInit((new MyBundle).Lit(_.foo -> 123.U))
+}
+```
+
+If your initial value is not a literal, or if you just prefer, you can use a
+Wire as the initial value for the Reg. Simply connect fields to `DontCare` that
+you do not wish to be reset.
+
+```scala mdoc:silent
+class MyModule2 extends Module {
+  val reg = RegInit({
+    // The wire could be constructed before the reg rather than in the RegInit scope,
+    // but this style has nice lexical scoping behavior, keeping the Wire private
+    val init = Wire(new MyBundle)
+    init := DontCare // No fields will be reset
+    init.foo := 123.U // Last connect override, .foo is reset
+    init
+  })
+}
+```
