OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

"EvaluateInitialization" is equivalent to (MenuGrayLink[Evaluation, paclet:guide/EvaluationMenu]) ▶ (MenuGrayLink[Evaluate Initialization Cells, paclet:ref/menuitem/EvaluateInitializationCells]).

All cells with the options (RefLink[Evaluatable, paclet:ref/Evaluatable])->(RefLink[True, paclet:ref/True]) and (RefLink[InitializationCell, paclet:ref/InitializationCell])->(RefLink[True, paclet:ref/True]) will be evaluated. Cells with these options usually contain definitions needed to use other material in the notebook.

A typical use is (RefLink[FrontEndExecute, paclet:ref/FrontEndExecute])[(RefLink[FrontEndToken, paclet:ref/FrontEndToken])["EvaluateInitialization"]].
