Quick Settings
This menu is not available in a Publication, because it makes structural changes to how a publication can be used, which is not something an end-user should be doing.
The Quick settings panel is available from the sidebar, and can have up to 5 Toggle Settings.
Quick settings can be useful because :
- A setting is frequently used
- A setting is useful to the user, but the user does not have access to the full Settings panel. This can occur when preparing a publication.
