    This is an Inscape 1.4 setting for document settings

    You can have a look here, but it's quite technical:
    https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape

    The scale defines the relation between the document size (in documents's unit) and the view box's size (in user unit). The user unit is used for values (position and size) stored in the SVG file. So if you're going to work for screen, it may be better to have a 1 user unit = 1 pixel, but if you work for print, having 1 user unit = 1mm makes more sense (though it is not strictly necessary).

    If you change the units of your document (e.g. mm -> px), it will change the scale accordingly so the document looks the same.

    And finally, changing the scale will change the (apparent) size of everything in the document.
