The Install Configuration view, which is part of the Install/Update perspective, allows you to manage your workspace configuration. The Current Configuration folder shows which local installation locations are part of the workspace configuration, and which features are installed in those locations. The Configuration History folder shows a history of changes made to your workspace configuration. The Saved Configurations folder show any configurations that were preserved (typically representing a stable configuration that can be used as a base to recover to).
