Override Playback	Used to select the percentage playback speed.
Speed	Determines the percentage playback speed, that is, the speed the step plays as a percentage of real-time speed. For example, if the step is 10 seconds long and you enter 100%, it takes 10 seconds to play. However, if you enter 50%, the step takes 20 seconds to play. Note This setting is not saved in the step, but is instead used to slow down the playback of a procedure.
Thumbnail Size	Determines the size of the step thumbnails. The default size is 80x60 (existing). Note The selected resolution is applicable to all new steps created in opened files. Existing step thumbnails are not changed when you change this setting.
