Create a New Configuration File
You can create a configuration file on a Viewer, the same way you do on a server.
If you do, it is recommended that you only create a stand-alone file for that viewer.
Any configuration will not be deployed to any other computer.
A stand-alone file will not be overwritten by the deployment server version.
