To close setup overrides for Member Detailing & Fabrication
"OK" (or the Enter key) closes the Member Detailing Settings window and saves the overrides on it with your current drawing, presumably so that the next time that drawing undergoes member detailing, those override settings are applied to the detail.
To permanently save your override changes, you need to save your current drawing. If you close your current drawing without saving changes made to it, any changes to override settings that you have applied to that drawing will be forgotten. On the other hand, a Drawing Overrides List will show active overrides (non-auto settings) that have been applied to your current drawing even if that drawing has not yet been saved.
"Cancel" (or the Esc key or the 
button) closes this window without saving any changes made to it.
"Reset" undoes all changes made to this window. The window remains open.
