## Configuration
### Windows Configuration Designer
Previously known as *Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD)*, the tool for creating provisioning packages is renamed **Windows Configuration Designer**. The new Windows Configuration Designer is available in Windows Store as an app. To run Windows Configuration Designer on earlier versions of Windows, you can still install Windows Configuration Designer from the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).
Windows Configuration Designer in Windows 10, version 1703, includes several new wizards to make it easier to create provisioning packages.
![wizards for desktop, mobile, kiosk, HoloLens, Surface Hub](images/wcd-options.png)
### Lockdown Designer app
### Windows Spotlight
The following new Group Policy and MDM settings are added to help you configure Windows Spotlight user experiences:
- **Turn off the Windows Spotlight on Action Center**
- **Do not use diagnostic data for tailored experiences**
- **Turn off the Windows Welcome Experience**
[Learn more about Windows Spotlight.](../configure/windows-spotlight.md)
