On a configuration in my workspace I have two options, Capture to Library and Archive to Library. What's the difference between the two?

The Lab Manager User's Guide isn't very useful here:

Archive a Workspace Configuration to the Library

You can preserve the exact state of a configuration in the configuration library. Archived configurations are read-only, but you can clone, export, and delete them.

Sounds like what Capture to Workspace does.
