    The solution configuration page provides a canvas you can use to display information or enable customers to perform actions in the context of your solution. Set the configuration page by using the Configuration Page lookup field to select a Web Page (HTML) Web resource included in the solution. This will cause a new Configuration node to appear in the Solution window underneath the Information node and above the Components node. The Configuration node will display the Web resource you set.

    You can use the solution configuration page to display controls that will configure your solution. For example, you may provide some entities in your solution that control the behavior of your solution. By using the OData endpoint for Microsoft Dynamics 365, you can provide custom controls on your Web resource page to update data in these entities.

    You can also use the selected web resource to show a html page with version history of your solution.

    Hi SaiKrishna,

    While creating solutions, we choose an HTML web resource as a Configuration Page for the solution. The configuration page is typically used by ISVs (Independent Software Vendors)  who distribute solutions. When this is set, a new Configuration node appears below the Information node to display this web resource. Developers will use this page to include instructions or controls to allow you to set configuration data or launch their solution.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    a configuration page is a custom page that you can make within your solution. On this custom page you can do anything you want. E.g. you can build a form in which licensing info should be entered, or even a complete application (think RibbonEditor) .

    My question to you is:  why do you want to build a configuration page? what do you want to achieve?
