When registering new folders after initializing the project with Astro Starlight, the following error pops up:
Front Matter CMS: Cannot update setting "frontMatter.content.pageFolders" because you've extended or split the Front Matter CMS configuration. Please manually add your changes. Check the output for the setting update.

Only option to resolve it now is to combine the pagefolders content into frontmatter.json file.

Same here - trying to follow the tutorial, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

Hi @shukurm and @kieronlanning this happens when the settings are extended or split in the .frontmatter folder. In that case, they have to be manually be added to the JSON file. More information can be found here: https://frontmatter.codes/docs/settings#extending-settings
