The Settings Browser allows the user to make changes to the behaviour of the Viewer, Sidebar, Views and View Gestures.  The goal is to allow maximum flexibility to the user, while keeping the viewer UI as simple as possible. 

Access to settings can be restricted when managing a Publication.

===== View Action Menu & Quick Settings =====

Quick Settings allows you to configure up to 5 quick settings.  If at least one is selected, a special flyout is added to the sidebar.  All boolean settings (on/off) are available as a quick settings.
