16.4 Keep, inspect, or reverse settings ¶

• Make a setting survive restarting Emacs: identify which resource owns the setting and use its own saving or startup action.
• Understand why Save did not change what I hear: inspect the saved voice, its selected palette and the result of application before editing again.
• Resume an unfinished edit: use the retained-draft route to return to the original editor. A retained draft is not a saved setup.
• Find out why an item sounded that way: inspect the chosen voices, cues, and rules; distinguish recorded feedback from a simulation.
• Undo a temporary feedback change: the heading exercise includes checking its scope and removing the practice rule. For broader problems, use presentation recovery.
• Adjust notifications without changing ordinary reading: choose where notifications play and distinguish selecting a route from restarting it. Output volumes controls loudness separately.
