What's the difference between saving a SCENE and a SCENE SUBSET?

My primary question: What's the difference between saving a SCENE and a SCENE SUBSET?  Hopefully there is a quick answer for this one.

My secondary question is:  Can anyone point me to a source that would explain what all those OTHER saving options are for? There's sure a lot of them so they must be useful for something!

Thank you.

    When you save as scene subset it lists everything in the scene and you check what items you want to save.  

    then when you reload just those items show up.

    Scene Subset allows you to pick groups of figures/objects to save in one file, so you could (for example) save a dinner table with plates, knives and forks as 'My Table', and in Scene Subset, check the props you want as part of it, ignoring the rest of the scene.

    Saving a scene will save everything that loaded, plus any lights and cameras AND all the render settings. When you reload the file, everything will be exactly as you left it.

    Also, if you double-click the file in a content pane a Scene will load in place of the current scene while aSceen Subset will merge into the current scene (using right-click you can have either do either).
