+============================================================================
+Feature: #79124 - Allow overwriting of template paths in BackendTemplateView
+============================================================================
+
+See :issue:`79124`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+BackendTemplateView now allows overwriting of template paths to add your own locations for templates, partials and layouts in a BackendTemplateView based backend module.
+
+Impact
+======
+
+You can now do for example
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+	$frameworkConfiguration = $this->configurationManager->getConfiguration(ConfigurationManagerInterface::CONFIGURATION_TYPE_FRAMEWORK);
+	$viewConfiguration = [
+	   'view' => [
+	       'templateRootPaths' => ['EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Backend/Templates'],
+	       'partialRootPaths' => ['EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Backend/Partials'],
+	       'layoutRootPaths' => ['EXT:myext/Resources/Private/Backend/Layouts'],
+	   ],
+	];
+	$this->configurationManager->setConfiguration(array_merge($frameworkConfiguration, $viewConfiguration));
+
+
+
+.. index:: Backend, PHP-API
