 ## Complete

+Its goal is to determine whether we should draft a _complete_ pattern which
+includes elements such as seam allowance lines, labels, and markings for
+buttons and notches,
+or if the pattern should include the part outlines only.
+
+It is your job when developing your pattern to ensure that the pattern
+checks the `complete` setting and includes or omits the appropriate elements
+based on the setting's value.
 
 ## Paperless

+The [`paperless`](/reference/settings/paperless) setting is a boolean that is either true or false.

-The [sa](/reference/settings/sa) setting is a number that controls the seam allowance.

 <Tip>
 
 ##### Use a multiple of `sa` for your hem allowance
 
-Resist the temptation to use an absolute value for any seam allowance, including at the hem.
