The ConfigurationManager on the left side of the SolidWorks window is a means to create, select, and view multiple configurations of parts and assemblies in a document.
You can split the ConfigurationManager and either display two ConfigurationManager instances, or combine the ConfigurationManager with the FeatureManager design tree, PropertyManager, or third party applications that use the panel.
The icons in the ConfigurationManager denote how the configuration was created:

With a design table. |
|
|
Manually, and has an explode state or a derived configuration. |
