Until now, directories used to list the directory's contents whenever their path was visited (provided they didn't contain an index file).

In cases where this was considered a security issue, turning off the Directory Listing required configuring a rewrite rule in `vercel.json`.

As of today, the Directory Listing is **disabled for all newly created Projects** and can be toggled on the "Advanced" page in the Project Settings.

Check out [the documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/directory-listing) as well.
