What is "Set As Current"?
At the top right of the connect screen is a "Set as current" icon. What does it do, exactly? Thanks!

I assume you're viewing Prusa Connect through Prusa Slicer. If so, by clicking that button for a particular printer, you are telling Slicer to switch to that printer type / configuration in Printer Presets.
For example, I have four printers: 1) Mk4, 0.4mm nozzle; 2) Mk4, 0.6mm nozzle; 3) Mk3, 0.4mm nozzle; 4) Mk4 w/ MMU3, 0.4mm nozzle.
In Plater window, I have Mk4 w/ 0.6mm nozzle preset selected. If I go into Prusa Connect tab and go to my Mk4 w/ MMU printer and select "Set as Current", Slicer will hop back to the Plater page and give the "Switching Presets" prompt window, where it gives me the opportunity to carry over settings from the previous printer preset and apply to the Mk4 w/ MMU preset. Whether I discard or transfer these settings, it will then switch to the Mk4 w/ MMU preset in Plater.
I hope that clarifies things. Really only applicable if you have more than one printer that are different models and/or configured differently (ie. nozzle diameter).
