Which work area in Design Mode is used for configuring components?

The configuration pane is the work area in Design Mode specifically designed for configuring components. When you select a component on the canvas or in the palette, the configuration pane provides the properties and settings for that component, allowing developers to customize its behavior and appearance. This is essential for tailoring applications to meet specific user requirements and ensuring that components function as intended within the broader application ecosystem.

The live view, on the other hand, offers a visual representation of the application as it will appear to users, but it does not provide configurational controls for the components. The canvas is where you arrange your interface elements, but it does not include settings for those components. The palette serves as a toolbox, providing a collection of components that developers can drag and drop onto the canvas, but it, too, lacks configuration capabilities. Thus, the configuration pane is the key area for detailed component settings and customization in the application design process.
