Default Crankshaft Position Sensor: Plug And Play?

I am replacing the starter motor and thought about replacing the Crank shaft position sensor. My question is:

Is the CPS a remove and replace, plugin in play item or, after installing a new one, does a tech have to reset it and relearn, etc.?

I've searched the forum but I wasn't able to find out for sure what the correct answer is. Thank you.

I replaced the CPS on my 97 Vette.
I didn't perform a re-learn.

Car ran just fine.

Replaced starter, fixed wires and installed the crankshaft position sensors. Fired it up and car runs just fine. Front, end links, next. Thank you for your replies. It helped make the decision to replace the part without worries. Have a great week!
