> 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).

> **Note:** **Requirements – routing schemes**
>
> Features described on this page only work with [content tree-based routing](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/implementing-routing/content-tree-based-routing.md) by default. Contact the developer of your project if these features do not work.
>
> If your project uses a [custom routing implementation](https://docs.kentico.com/13/developing-websites/implementing-routing/custom-routing-using-url-patterns.md), **Publish from**/**Publish to** and **Redirect after unpublish** fields must be reflected in your routing implementation.

Xperience allows you to specify when a page is published. When you edit a page in the **Pages** application on its **Content** tab, you can typically find the **Publish from**/**Publish to** and **Redirect after unpublish** fields at the bottom of the form:

![Scheduling pages for publishing](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13/scheduling-pages-for-publishing/scheduling_documents.png "Scheduling pages for publishing")

When you set the **Publish from**/**Publish to** values, the page will be displayed on the website only during the given time period.

- If you do not set the **Publish from** value, the page is displayed on the live site immediately.
- If you do not set the **Publish to** value, the page stays published until manually unpublished.

Additionally, in the **Redirect after unpublish** field you can select a page where visitors are redirected after the page is unpublished.

If the page is outside of the set **Publish from/Publish to** interval, i.e., the page is not yet published or the **Publish to** time is in the past, the page stays visible for you in the content tree of the **Pages** application and behaves as an [unpublished page](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-website-content/working-with-pages.md). You can always change the **Publish from/Publish to** values to republish or unpublish the page.

### Scheduling pages that use workflow/versioning

If you set the **Publish from**/**Publish to** values to pages that use [workflow](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/using-workflows.md), they still need to be approved before being published. Once approved, the page is published by a scheduled system process. The process is set to execute every minute by default. The process only publishes the page if the page already reached its **Publish from** time. You can check the status of this process in the **Scheduled tasks** application. Choose the website and search for the **Content publishing** task.

> **Info:** **Time zones**
>
> If  _time zones_  are enabled, the day and time values in the **Publish from**/**Publish to** fields are displayed in a format relative to the appropriate time zone. Otherwise the date and time values are relative to server time. See [Configuring time zones](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/configuring-time-zones.md#usage-example) for more information.
