Meaning of: BLE Connected, queueing BLE restart for later

I'm writing some BLE services and characteristics for my Pixl.js, and after uploading to RAM I always see the message "BLE Connected, queueing BLE restart for later". I have a few questions:

1. Are my BLE changes effective already (I'm guessing "no"), or do I need to first restart the Pixl.js. i.e. is a reset() equivalent to a power-down?
   
2. Are my changes lost during restart because they were only in RAM? Should I have done a save()?
   
3. Is there a way to force a BLE restart?
   
   

Thanks for any assistance.
