To ensure prompt indexing, it's advised to manually submit your sitemap using Google Search Console (for more information, please visit [Improve your performance on Google Search](https://search.google.com/search-console/about)). Alternatively, consider using our app designed to assist with this process, Google Search Console. # Default Sitemap.xml and Robots.txt Files To access the sitemap.xml and robots.txt files: 1. Open your published URL and add the desired file (either `sitemap.xml` or `robots.txt`) at the end (e.g., `https://www.example.com/sitemap.xml` or `https://www.example.com/robots.txt`). 2. Enter the modified URL into your browser. 3. Save the file or link as needed. **Note** * Only published sites have these files. * These files are note able to be edited, though a custom one can be uploaded, see the section, [Replace Default Files](#h_e0fa86f4b1), in this article for more information. #### Sitemap.xml Specific Information A sitemap lists all of the URLs for your site, including eCommerce category pages and product URLs (for both native and third-party stores), as well as blog posts and dynamic page records.

Alternatively, consider using our app designed to assist with this process, Google Search Console. **Note** * Only published sites have sitemaps. * Pages that are set to not index (located in the page's SEO settings) will not appear in the sitemap. If the entire site is set to not index in the site's settings, the sitemap will be empty (see Site Settings for more information). * If your sitemap contains non-secure URLs (HTTP instead of HTTPS), consider requiring visitors to use a secure connection (HTTPS).To enable the **Force visitors to use secure connection (HTTPS)** setting, in the side panel, click **SEO & Settings**, and then click the **Site SSL** tab. #### Replace Default Files or Add Custom Files To override the default files (sitemaps and robots.txt files), ensure the Source URL matches the file names (sitemap.xml and robots.txt) exactly. Supported file types include .xml, .txt, and .json. **Warning** * Assisting with the content of custom files is beyond our support scope. * Keep in mind the Book Like A Boss platform does not validate custom files, so even if a file is corrupt, it will still be served. **Note** Only site configuration file types are supported (for example .txt and .xml). #### From SEO Settings To upload from the SEO Settings: 1.
