Is there a guide for how to use/setup a 'Product Configurator' product? It just seems so confusing. I asked Alt-Team becuase they have a mod that is better called Product packages but it is for CS-Cart 3 version. I have version 2.2.x of CS-Cart.
The CS-Cart reference guide only provides this.

Is everything clear and correct? Click to report an insufficient or poor description
This module enables you to create and sell configurable products in your store.
The add-on has a single configurable setting - Thumbnails width. Here you can set the desired thumbnail width in pixels.

Is there another guide out there that will help show how to setup a configuratble product?
I am wanting to make combo kits which will give you options to add which items you need for your kit. But doing just a bunch of options, it will not deduct the items in the kit from inventory. I am hoping that the configurable product add-on in my CS-Cart 2 will do this.
Thanks!
The KB article for Configurator Settings should guide you through everything you need or similarly take a look at the example configuration. It is also covered in the V2 user manual which you can find here.

Thank you @StellarBytes !!!
I must have been looking in the wrong spots.
Okay, so I have set the configurations, Steps, Groups and Classes … which all seem a little redundant. My goal is to be able to sell “survival kits” that the customer can configure one step at a time. So how do I walk the customer through Step 1, 2, 3 …?
A configured product walks the customer thru the steps itself.
Set up a configured product and you will see that they first select any product that is at step one, then once selected it proceeds to step two, etc. And they can't jump a step IF it is required.

Maybe have a pop-up appear on that page when they first go to it and then in the pop-up or modal window it can explain how to walk through it.

Or this one is nice which too:

You can put the instructions into the configured product's Description as well (if you feel the need to).
You can name the steps instuctionally, e.g. Choose a widget, choose a sub-widget, add a widget accessory (optional), etc
You can add numbers in front of the names of the steps, e.g. 1. Choose a widget, 2. add a widget accessory, etc.
The CSS class of the tabbed step can be formatted to more highlighted/bold when it is active so there is a better indication of which step the customer is on.
