These are features to keep in mind for the future, but which are not requirements at this time.
Allow searches of the configuration library to find configurations with particular variables or plot types or descriptions.
When a component configuration is saved, such as of a plot or a plot page, take a png snapshot of the component and store that with the configuration. Then the browser can show the configuration icon to the user as a hint of how the configuration looks. Or the icon can be from some existing set of icons.
The configuration framework may be the place to support redo/undo operations, if a stack of configuration snapshots is kept every time a configurable component is changed. Likewise if the sanpshot is saved to a file, similar to a journal, then the last known good configuration can be restored if a display session should crash.
