+- {{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The `editURL` config parameter is now [overwritable in your pages frontmatter](cont/frontmatter). In addition it received more versatility by letting you control where to put the file path into the URL. This is achieved by replacing the variable `${FilePath}` in your URL by the pages file path. You don't need to change anything in your existing configuration as the old way without the replacement variable still works.
