> Agent instructions:
> **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).

Before you can begin running your on-line store, there are a few configuration steps you need to go through to ensure everything will run smoothly. The settings allow you to adjust the Xperience E-commerce solution to fit your needs.

If you do not have any experience with the E-commerce Solution, install the [sample DancingGoat MVC](https://docs.kentico.com/13/installation/installing-xperience.md) site to learn more about the system. You can treat the sample site as a sandbox where you can find examples of various implemented functionality and as a way to test your store configuration in a safe environment.

> **Info:** This sequence of steps is tailored specifically to new Xperience installations. If you already have a configured instance and only wish to make specific adjustments, feel free to skip steps as necessary.
