Features Utils provides additional components to allow site builders to capture configurations from core and common contributed modules which have not been available or easy to use in the past. This module is intended for capturing configurations and writing them to code in order to version control and easily deploy changes.
Before using this module, please be aware that it does not use machine names to track the components. A bit of flexibility is lost because components are tracked via their IDs. If you've got many users manipulating Features simultaneously you may run into collisions with the IDs, so using diligence is advised. For a development workflow with one or just a few people pushing buttons it will work well.
All this module does is provide a way to grab configurations, save them, and make them deploy-able. No more, no less, and it works.
Available components:
Block Assignments - The context module is the accepted way to place blocks into regions, but it can be done via Features Utils as well. This will also capture the Title that has been set to the block.
Blocks - Custom blocks, provided by the core Block module.
