DeskCNC has a feature called Work Coordinate Offsets. In layman's terms can anyone explain what this is?

Is this how you tell the software how big your work piece is?

It is how you tell the software were the work piece is.
It is the directed (plus or minus direction) distance from the machine home position to the X,Y,Z zero point of the part program.
