Lightning Bundle Configurations Available in the Developer Console
Configurations make it easier to create a component or application for a specific purpose, like a Lightning page or Experience Builder site page, or a quick action or navigation item in Lightning Experience or Salesforce mobile app. The New Lightning Bundle panel in the Developer Console offers a choice of component configurations when you create an Aura component or application bundle.
