more consitent settings for "new tab page"
I would prefere it to have the settings for the "new tab page" within the settings menu (edge://settings).
detailed description:
At the moment you find a link to new tab page under "settings" > "new tab page" where you the can change the settings. I think it is more consistent to have it the other way: Please move the real settings controls under "Settings" > "new tab page" and link from "new tab page" to the settings page.
By the way then you can add a link to the search bar settings (for new tab page) under "settings" > "new tab page". So the user can find them faster.

I think they should keep those options on the new tab page because right now when I change the NTP layout, I can see the change instantly and decide which one suits me.
if it was on the settings page, i would have to go back and forth between settings and new tab page just to see what's changed.
that settings page has lots of vacant space but i think they should put other things in there, such as:"Provide an option to set a custom URL for a new tab instead of showing the new tab page"
(which Edge developers still haven't implemented nor talked about its fate even though they marked it on the top feedback list as "Addressed" by mistake, accident or something else)

HotCakeX Regarding the URL customization, I can confirm that the New Tab Page team has reviewed the Top Feedback list and agreed with its designation as "Addressed." Missy and I chatted with them directly, and http:// https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/top-feedback-summary-for-march-31/m-p/1289833/highlight/true#M28182 to the community.

By the way: If the feauture "Custom URL for New Tab Page" is realy implemented and we (The users in front of the monitor!!) don't find the setting, then this indicates you, that the setting's structure is to complicate.
Best regards.
