Publish Settings
The Publish settings is always visible next to the play preview button in the ribbon no matter what tab you are on. It contains settings that will affect the published version of the lesson only.
Model Settings
The model settings allow you to set a specific model for each platform. This is especially important when you are creating multiplatform lessons for mobile devices. Most mobiles do not have the memory required to run the detailed model you would normally perfer for VR or PC. In the Model settings we can decide which versions of the model will be used on different platforms.
