SetOffsets is referring to the raw offsets structure of the canvas slot (is that what you’re talking about?) The values mean different things depending on anchor points.

Left,Top = position offset from their anchor point.
Bottom = (If vertically stretching) margin from bottom (else) height
Right = (If horizontally stretching) margin from right (else) width

So if your widget was anchored to 0,0.

0,0 700,700 means, a box at 0,0 with 700 width and height.

Sorry i was a bit unclear.

There is a new option “Set Offset in Viewport” with input Desired Offset (vector2). If i understand it correctly, if i add a widget, via add child, and then use new function i will be able to place the widget depending on the Desired Offset. However , an input value of (0,0) or a value of (700,700) doesn’t effect the added user widget position at all inside the viewport.
And i guess one will replace the old “Set Offsets , target CanvasPanelSlot” because i get warnings that it wasn’t tagged as BlueprintReadWrite and it will be removed in a future release.
