Liquid crystalline (LC) elastomers (LCEs) enable large-scale reversible shape changes in polymeric materials; however, they require intensive, irreversible programming approaches in order to facilitate controllable actuation. We have implemented photoinduced dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) that chemically anneals the LCE toward
