This button always catches me out when I've not done renderworks renders for a little while.
The name to me suggests it sets lighting options for that viewport but in reality it opens a dialogue called "Edit Renderworks Style" and therefore any adjustments are going to affect any other viewports rendered using that style.
This I consider to be dangerous - easy not to realise that you are changing things globally. Not only do you risk messing up other renders that you've got set up, but because you edit the renderworks style there's no way of reverting to the previous settings (which may have taken considerable time to set up and adjust) other than trying to find a backup version of the drawing from before you inadvertently made the changes.
It either needs to be renamed something like "edit renderworks style applying to this viewport", or (more usefully in my opinion) a button that allows you to adjust things like emitter brightness for that viewport only.
