# Configuration {#configuration}

After the site set is included, the extension works without further configuration — everything below is optional.

There are three configuration layers, each answering a different question:

| Layer | Scope | Use it for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Site Settings](SiteSettings.html#site-settings) | Per site | Almost everything: switching the feature on or off, appearance, toolbar position, and filters for pages, doktypes, CTypes and UIDs. |
| [UserTSconfig](UserTSconfig.html#user-tsconfig) | Per backend user or group | Withholding frontend editing from certain editors entirely. |
| [Extension configuration](ExtensionConfiguration.html#extension-configuration) | Global, per installation | How edit links behave: return URL handling, target blank, redirect into the full backend, and debug logging. |

> [!TIP]
> Looking for a specific option? All site settings are listed as
> [confvals](SiteSettings.html#site-settings) and can be searched from the sidebar.
