Say you have a 10 sec. zone defined on a clip in Clip Monitor and on the timeline you have a 20 sec. zone defined somewhere. When you press V or select Insert Clip Zone in Timeline (overwrite) , it will insert the 10 sec. segment of the clip from the Clip Monitor at the beginning of the zone on the timeline. If there happens to be another clip there already, it will overwrite it, completely or partially, depending on how long the existing clip was.

Regions selected on time line and in clip monitor - blue regions.

Select Insert Clip Zone in Timeline (overwrite) and the section in the clip overwrites the section on the timeline
