Error CSS
On, Off
Tells Sass whether to emit a CSS file when an error occurs during compilation.

Generate Source Map
External, Internal, Off
Source maps are files that tell browsers or other tools that consume CSS how that CSS corresponds to the Sass files from which it was generated. They make it possible to see and even edit your Sass files in browsers.

Executable Path
/path/to/sass
Manually enter or select the scss binary location.

Notes

As default the scss processor will compile in the current directory. If the current directory name is scss it will start at the parent. This allows us to use the following directory structure where the combined.scss includes styles from the sub folder:
```
project
project/assets/css
project/assets/css/combined.css  
project/assets/css/combined.scss
project/assets/css/scss
project/assets/css/scss/_include.scss
```
If either _include.scss or combined.scss are saved the compiler will run on the directory project/assets/css/
