 Without an argument, `use:enhance` will emulate the browser-native behaviour, just without the full-page reloads. It will:
 
 - update the `form` property, `$page.form` and `$page.status` on a successful or invalid response, but only if the action is on the same page you're submitting from. So for example if your form looks like `<form action="/somewhere/else" ..>`, `form` and `$page` will _not_ be updated. This is because in the native form submission case you would be redirected to the page the action is on.
-- invalidate all data using `invalidateAll` on a successful response
+- reset the `<form>` element and invalidate all data using `invalidateAll` on a successful response
 - call `goto` on a redirect response
 - render the nearest `+error` boundary if an error occurs
