> 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).

You can perform multiple page (batch) operations using the following approach:

1. [List the pages](#multiplepageoperations-listing) that you want to perform the operation on in the **Pages** application.
2. [Perform the multiple page operation](#performing-multiple-page-operations)

## Listing pages in the Pages application

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Click on the page under which you want to list pages.
3. Switch to **Listing** mode.

   ![Switching to Listing mode](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13/multiple-page-operations/listing_mode.png "Switching to Listing mode")
4. In the **Page type** drop-down list, select the **Page** **type** that you want to list. Do not choose any page type if you want to view all the pages in the system.
5. Use the filter to adjust the listed pages.
6. If you want to list pages from all levels under the selected page (descendant pages), select the **Show all levels** check box.
7. Click **Search**.

   ![Filtering pages in Listing mode](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13/multiple-page-operations/listing_pages_filter.png "Filtering pages in Listing mode")

The system lists all the pages based on the criteria you specified in the filter.
