> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

| [Alternative forms](https://docs.kentico.com/13/custom-development/extending-the-administration-interface/creating-alternative-forms.md) | cms.alternativeform | Child object type with the following possible parent types: **Custom tables**, **Page types**, **Module classes** |
| [User avatars](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/user-avatars.md) | cms.avatar | |
| [Consents](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/data-protection/gdpr-compliance/working-with-consents.md) | cms.consent | Includes consent definitions, with all language versions of the consent texts. Continuous integration does not track consent agreements given by contacts or archived consents. |
| [Countries](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/configuring-countries.md) | cms.country | Supported child objects:
States (cms.state) |
| [Cultures](https://docs.kentico.com/13/multilingual-websites/setting-up-a-multilingual-user-interface.md) | cms.culture | |
| [Custom tables](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/defining-website-content-structure/managing-custom-tables.md) | cms.customtable | Includes the definitions and settings of custom tables. The data records stored within the tables are represented by a separate object type for each table, named in format _customtableitem.._
Note: If you change the code name of a custom table with existing data records, the system attempts to re-serialize all data under the new object type. If any problems occur, you may need to manually serialize all objects in the _Continuous integration_ application to bring your _CIRepository_ folder into the correct state.
Supported child objects:
[Alternative forms](https://docs.kentico.com/13/custom-development/extending-the-administration-interface/creating-alternative-forms.md) (cms.alternativeform)

| [Custom table data](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/defining-website-content-structure/managing-custom-tables/managing-custom-table-data.md) | customtableitem. | Represents the data records stored within custom tables. Each custom table has a separate object type for its data, named in format _customtableitem._. For example: _customtableitem.customtable.sampletable_
Note: The continuous integration solution does not track the data of custom tables without an _ItemGUID_ field. The GUID values are used to identify custom table records and in the names of the corresponding XML files. You can add a GUID field and generate identifier values for all records by clicking _Create GUID_ on the _Fields_ tab of the custom table's editing interface. |

The index rebuilds are processed when the application starts up after the restore operation.
See [Restoring continuous integration files to the database](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/setting-up-continuous-integration/restoring-continuous-integration-files-to-the-database.md) for more information. |

> **Info:** **Unsupported page permission scenario**
>
> Continuous integration does not support scenarios where different [page-level permissions (ACLs)](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/configuring-permissions/configuring-page-permissions/page-level-permissions-acls.md) are applied to the same page from different sources and then synchronized.
>
> **Developer A**
>
> 1. Sets permissions for a user or a role on a page.
> 2. Pushes the changes to the source control system.
>
> **Developer B**
>
> 1. Sets **different** permissions for the **same** user or role on the **same** page.
> 2. Downloads the latest version from the source control. No collisions occur, because the ACL items are represented by different files.
> 3. [Restores objects](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/setting-up-continuous-integration/restoring-continuous-integration-files-to-the-database.md) from the file system to the database. Both ACL item files are processed, but only one is kept in the database, depending on the order in which they are processed.

Note: When [restoring](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/setting-up-continuous-integration/restoring-continuous-integration-files-to-the-database.md) data from the _CIRepository_ folder, process triggers of the "Contact scored X or more" type are created only if the related [score](https://docs.kentico.com/13/on-line-marketing-features/managing-your-on-line-marketing-features/contact-management/scoring-contacts.md) exists in the given database. To reliably use continuous integration for these types of triggers, you need to manually ensure that the required scores are present on all instances in the environment (Scores are currently not supported by continuous integration). |

After [restoring](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/setting-up-continuous-integration/restoring-continuous-integration-files-to-the-database.md) a new condition-based contact group from the _CIRepository_ folder, you need to manually rebuild the group in the _Contact groups_ application. |

The continuous integration data for personas also includes data for persona scores and rules, represented by the _om.personascore_ and _om.personarule_ CI folders. |

## Binding object types
In addition to the standard object types, continuous integration also supports most related bindings (i.e. objects representing relationships between the supported objects and other objects). For example, the binding objects that store how page templates or page types are assigned to sites.
