Default Turning off water main: shutdown water heater first?

I want to turn off my water main to repair an outside faucet. Do I have

do I have to do something to "reboot" the water heater?

Hi,
That is funny, our outside faucets are frost proof ones and each one has
individual shut off inside. Don't need to shut off the main valve.
Leave the water heater alone.
