Difference between display states and configurations

Afternoon all,

I have a single sub-assembly that I need to show in different explosion states and I also need to show in some of those different explosion states an assembly fixture.  I of course want to be able to show this on different sheets of my drawing.  So my questions are what are the differences between display states and configurations and what would be the best way to go about doing what I am trying to accomplish?

Thank you all.
