Update from code changes updated this PR. Noted frontmatter can override custom meta tags declared in seo.metatags or seo.paths Source PRs
|
- Replace "canonical is always sourced from seo.metatags", which contradicted per-page canonical, with the actual behavior: a canonical key in seo.paths entries is ignored. - Note that paths match page URLs, so language folders need their own entries. - Note that seo.paths metatag values must be non-empty strings. - Simplify path rules; the validation error lists every constraint. - Dedupe precedence rules in the SEO guide and link to the reference. - Move the frontmatter override paragraph after the page-specific tag list and example. - Link to #param-seo-metatags and #param-seo-paths instead of #seo. - Mirror all changes in es, fr, and zh.

Summary
Documents the new
seo.pathsconfig option and the related frontmatter override behavior for custom meta tags.seo.pathslets you scope meta tags to a folder (for example, versioned docs or a product area) on top of site-wideseo.metatags. Page frontmatter still wins on predefined SEO fields and can now also override any custom meta tag thatseo.metatagsor a matchingseo.pathsentry declares.canonicalremains site-scoped.Changes

seo.pathsoption and related frontmatter behavior across English, Spanish, French, and Chinese.seo.pathslets teams set folder-scoped meta tags indocs.json(for examplenoindexonguides/v1or a differentog:imageonguides/v2) without repeating frontmatter on every page. The neworganize/settings-seoreference describes the schema (path+metatags), precedence (seo.metatags→ matchingseo.paths, with longer paths winning → page frontmatter), locale-specific URL matching, and thatcanonicalis ignored inside path entries.optimize/seoadds a “Folder-scoped meta tags” guide with an example and clarifies that page frontmatter can override custom tags already declared inseo.metatagsor a matchingseo.pathsentry (non-empty strings only; no new undeclared keys).Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 4a6db64.
