Hi @elnaz amanollahy,

To address the need for saving button states and resetting them to their original settings, consider maintaining an array to track the states of each button. Here's a step-by-step approach:

Use an array "buttonStates" to keep track of the state of each button. As a user interacts with the buttons, update the corresponding entry in this array to reflect the current state.

    % Function to toggle button state
    function toggleButtonState(row, col, btn)
        buttonStates(row, col) = ~buttonStates(row, col);
        % Update button color to reflect its state
        if buttonStates(row, col)
            btn.BackgroundColor = 'red';
        else
            btn.BackgroundColor = defaultColor; % Reset to default color if clicked again
        end
    end

When the "Submit" button is pressed, save the "buttonStates" array to a .mat file.

After saving, reset all values in the "buttonStates" array to zero. Simultaneously, revert the "BackgroundColor" of all buttons to their default color, ensuring the grid returns to its initial state. Refer to the following documentation, which explains how to set the background color of a button. https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uibutton.html#namevaluepairs

    % Function to save data and reset grid
    function saveAndReset()
        % Save current button states to a .mat file
        save('buttonData.mat', 'buttonStates');

        % Reset button states
        buttonStates = zeros(5, 5);

        % Update button appearances to reflect reset state
        for i = 1:5
            for j = 1:5
                buttons(i, j).BackgroundColor = defaultColor; % Reset to default color
            end
        end
    end

A sample code to illustrate the above approach has been attached.

I hope this helps!
