## **Enable automatic front-end editing links**
(Default: On, Matching Config Override: [`automatic_frontedit_links`](general/system-configuration-overrides.md#automatic_frontedit_links))

By default ExpressionEngine Pro automatically inserts edit links ( <img style="margin-bottom: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display:inline-block;" src="../../_images/pro_edit.png" alt="pro edit icon"> ) where editable content is found in templates. These can be disabled on a per field basis or globally when using this toggle. When toggled off, ExpressionEngine Pro will no longer automatically generate edit links and links will need to be [added manually](/advanced-usage/front-end/frontend.md#customizing-the-link-location) where needed in templates.

- Automatic front-end editing links are disabled via settings or config override. By default, ExpressionEngine automatically generates front edit links for all entry fields. This can be turned on or off, requiring a developer to [manually insert front edit links](advanced-usage/front-end/frontend.md#customizing-the-link-location) via template tags. If only manually inserted links are showing, this could be the cause.
- Via Pro's [general settings](control-panel/settings/front-end-editing.md), ensure that the "Enable automatic front-end editing links" setting is toggled on.
- Via the [`enable_frontedit_links` config override](general/system-configuration-overrides.md#enable_frontedit_links). If in use, this override must be set to `'y'` to automatically insert front edit links.
- Via the [`automatic_frontedit_links` config override](general/system-configuration-overrides.md#automatic_frontedit_links). If in use, this override must be set to `'y'` to automatically insert front edit links.

- Front edit links are disabled via HTML comments, EE template comments, or `disable` parameter. There are 3 ways to disable Pro's automatic generation of front edit links. Ensure that the template code your inspecting isn't surrounded by template comments or wrapped in a field tag using `disable="frontedit`. For details on these methods read the [docs regarding disabling front-edit links](advanced-usage/front-end/frontend.md#enabledisable-the-front-edit-link)
