Here's a proposal layout for the configuration system with usage notes.

For the config system, the only nits I have are:

- "Add-ons" may be confusing. If we call them out specifically, we may want to use "Add-on Collections".
- Not sure if "Current Summary" in the form displayed adds value. What about a link that opens a pop-up that outlines changes saved thus far?
- If we can track tabs that have (unsaved) changes, might be an idea to explicitly add a "there are changes you need to save. how about now?" type of UI
- I'd add a link to general help or index to the contextual help window

err... maybe not a separate window, but a pop-up layer that greys out the background and outlines what customizations are in place. that kind of thing.
