prevED

Type: string Default: undefined

URL of a previous Editor's Draft location. Used when a document has moved, been transferred between groups, or split from a larger document — situations where the version control history is no longer directly accessible.

Basic usage

var respecConfig = {
  prevED: "https://old-location.example.org/my-spec/",
};

Notes

  • Rarely needed — most specs stay in the same repository
  • Use when a spec has genuinely moved and linking to the previous ED location helps readers find the history
