Custom settings for my add-in

Question

I am developing an add-in using VB.NET and am well underway with creating about 4 or 5 Dockpanes required for each function. In the ArcMap version these functions have settings that are customized by the user. I display those setting with a WinForm but something tells me that is not the recommendation for Pro.

Should I create my settings in a Backstage, a Settings Dockpane, or some other control?

In short using the Backstage would be what we recommend.
