| New Configuration |

NOTE: If you accidentally choose New Configuration from the menu bar, do not close the Configuration Editor or click the Done button. Either action immediately replaces the previous configuration with the new, empty configuration.

The All Values view provides the following panes that you can use to display and manage all values contained in a configuration.
The Index pane lists the titles of the questions you have answered, are currently answering, or that the editor determines may need to be answered. The current question is highlighted.
The title is also displayed at the top of the question pane when you
are answering a question.
You can click on any question in the index list to make it the current question. Clicking on a question does not cause the list to change; but if you change an answer that alters the configuration options, the Configuration Editor updates the questions in the list to reflect the change in options. If a previously answered question is no longer displayed in the index list, the Configuration Editor saves its answer until you either save the configuration or change its value.
You can also use the buttons at the bottom of the Question Pane to navigate through the configuration file. See Question Pane below for a description of the navigation buttons.
The Configuration Editor displays test configuration questions in the main text area of the editor. You answer the questions using controls such as text boxes, radio buttons, or combo boxes located beneath the question. After you answer each question, click 
at the bottom of the panel to proceed to the next question.
The buttons at the bottom of the Question pane control the following editor functions:
| Button | Description |
