Angle Offset
Give a number by which to offset the angle of the HDRI (shortcut: left click+Ctrl on the HDRI thumbnail in the HDRI View). This offset is unique to the HDRI selected and is different from the Rotation slider in the Look Dev Views menu, which works independently from the HDRI offset.
Reset Environment
Resets the Angle offset to default (0).
