Recently our team has been working on the new eCommerce extensions. One of the things we figured out was how to add the module configuration fields in the page authoring tools of the site builder. These configuration fields can be added to modules to allow page authors to take control of certain features of the module and determine how these features should render or behave on the site. Some examples include the alignment, position, layouts and adding customized text on contents of the modules.   Assuming you have your development environment setup, and have already created an extension module, open 'yourmodulename.definition.json' file and add a 'config' section if it does not exist. The config section of the module's definition file will contain all the fields that you want to expose and make usable in the page authoring tools of the site builder. Add your configuration fields in the config section. {      "$type" :  "contentModule" ,   ...
