Re-run bot command

I'm creating a bot that has multiple steps that a user navigates using buttons. I have a "back" button that I would like to trigger a restart, as if the user had abandoned the current bot session and entered the slash command to run the bot again. Is there a way to do this? I've tried interaction.client.commands.get('command').execute(); and it fires but it seems that there's no interaction object when it runs. I would like it to create a whole new slash command interaction. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

State management

I'm building a bot and am wondering the best way to manage state within the app? For example, once a user executes a command we begin a flow that asks them various questions and then will provide them with a custom message at the end based on all of the answers they've given. Is there a standard to maintain state in discord.js that will allow us to keep all these answers? Thanks!

Unable to collect reactions

Hey guys, I could use some help with an issue I'm seeing using discord.js 🙂 I'm trying to register when a user reacts to a message that my bot sends out. I have

await interaction.deferReply();
 const message = await interaction.editReply({
     content: 'Message',
 });

 message.react(':rewind:');
 const collector = await message.createReactionCollector({        filter: () => true, time: 15000 });
    
 collector.on('collect', (reaction, user) => {
   console.log(`Reaction collected`);
 });

await interaction.deferReply();
 const message = await interaction.editReply({
     content: 'Message',
 });

 message.react(':rewind:');
 const collector = await message.createReactionCollector({        filter: () => true, time: 15000 });
    
 collector.on('collect', (reaction, user) => {
   console.log(`Reaction collected`);
 });

For record, this response is a follow up from another message that my bot sends previously, that's why I'm using editReply. The message is being sent, and I'm seeing the automated ⏪ reaction. However when I click a reaction to the message I'm not seeing anything happen. Does anyone have any idea why I might be having this issue?
