This document discusses using Features and related modules to manage configuration in Drupal. It summarizes some of the challenges with managing configuration in databases, and how Features allows moving configuration into code. Key points covered include: 1. Features allows exporting site configuration like content types, fields, and views into reusable modules that can be version controlled and shared. 2. This separates the configuration and code from the content data in the database, making deployment and staging easier without database changes. 3. The document discusses some challenges with using Features and recommends related modules like Features Extra, Features Plumber and Features Override to address issues like simultaneous editing and overriding dependencies.
