Build Configurations

Build Configurations allow you to define a specific set of Build Profiles, Additional Locales, and Publishing Targets so that you can quickly Build and Publish a set of outputs as a single operation. Build Configurations can be saved directly from your selections when you start a Build, or can be managed in the Project Settings Editor (opened by clicking the Project Settings ribbon button).

Build Configurations can be particularly useful if you are using build automation (building from the Command Line or Team Foundation Server) in order to identify (as a named configuration you can reference in the command line build) the set of outputs you wish to build.
