"In Campaign mode, GMs can use their own rules for character creation and running the presented content (the entire book or series). They are not even required to use the Pathfinder RPG rules, but they must run the adventure using a tabletop roleplaying game and use the Adventure Path or Pathfinder Module as the primary source for adventure content."
Does this mean we can also change the setting in Campaign Mode, obviously as long as we obey the above and can we do minor tweaks like god/npc name Changes etc.? I have a homebrew world and would like to give Chronicles to the Players to add to their official Organised Play Characters which are obviously not the ones that play in the homebrew campaign.
Thanks for your time,
Andrew.

Yes, that is legal.
Thanks for your answer. I have another question. The Pathfinder Adventure Paths are l-o-n-g but very good. In Campaign Mode, is it legal to 'skip' Books (and obviously not issue Chronicles) or must we painstakingly play through all six volumes to issue Chronicles? I really want to condense some of the AP's into 3 Volumes like in Starfinder. Can we take a break, start another AP or module and still issue Chronicles for parts played, and return later?
Thanks again for your time,Andrew

Here’s where you can get into some pretty grey areas. The rules for campaign mode are worded the way they are because a lot of people want to add things to their adventure, not take them away.
If you’re skipping large parts of the adventures, you aren’t really running the full campaign and probably shouldn’t issue chronicles at all. If you skip an encounter here and there - especially if you add in your own material - you’re still good.
Between the extremes of “We are doing everything and more!” and “the whole ‘campaign’ is just playing the final encounter” is a pretty wide spectrum. No one is going to be able to give you a black-and-white answer, but you probably can use your own honest judgment.

Each of the books/chronicles is a separate “adventure.” You don’t have to run any specific one. The important part is are you running the encounters that are required by the special rules. If the answer is yes, you should be able to reward those chronicles. So if you decide to skip parts in your campaign, just don’t issue those chronicles. If you run the required parts in your game, award only those chronicles.
