Do you by any chance have link to a summary or review?
There are some summaries in the (hyper text) book, but they’re probably too short to give an overview.
I could write a review, but I’d probably want to PM rather than post that.
One reason I haven’t written a review is that I find the book to be: easy to read, and short enough that it probably doesn’t save time, without some work.
That is, however, not as short as things could be with skimming. I figured the first two sections are more pre-requisites than things which go off somewhere else.
Something rather fast, which might fail, is just reading the page: https://meaningness.com/control. Maybe it has what you’re looking for there, maybe it doesn’t. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
I found that page using this search: site:meaningness.com partial control
The next two hits from that search only have a one hit for the page search for partial, at the very end of them. Beyond that hits seem to be from a repeated phrase, which is just a short summary of a section in the table of contents.
I don’t have a map of what is a pre-requisite of what. But, assuming that that’s handled if you read it in order, then: ‘partial control’ is addressed in https://meaningness.com/control. I’d guess… you can read section one (Why meaningness? and it’s sub pages 4), section 2 (Stances and its subpages about 14). Then that page on control is late section 3. The preceding sub-pages don’t have sub-pages, but eternalism has 3 sub-subpages of some kind or another before it).
(Things that might change: https://meaningness.com/meaningness-practice which comes late part 2 contains a subsection that is currently 100 words but could become more relevant to what you’re looking for if it’s updated, or pages are added after that page. That possibility is mentioned in a note from July 2014 though, so if you read this soon, I’m guessing that won’t happen by then.)
Here’s how long the first two sections are: (using https://wordcount.com, copying the text in, (adding a return a “-” and another two returns) not the table of contents on the left because it’s repeated. Using the url led to a massive overcount by at least an order of magnitude, possibly some builtin recursive counting on the links or something, so I didn’t use that.)
This does not include the comments (a separate page, which you don’t have to read, but might be useful if you’re confused or have questions, though such things might also be answered later on in the book).

If you figure section 3 is 75% the length of all the stuff before it, then, including the page on control, that’s:

One reason I haven’t written a review is that I find the book to be: easy to read, and short enough that it probably doesn’t save time, without some work.
I could try to summarize anything you have questions about after or while reading this: https://meaningness.com/control
A dialogue might be more (immediately) constructive and save time relative to trying to cover everything.

Not counting: https://meaningness.com/all-dimensions-schematic-overview towards the word count or anything because it’s a bunch of charts. (Which might help summarize if you have a little bit of the necessary background.)
