> **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).

This section contains settings related to Facebook features integrated into Kentico, which includes [Facebook authentication](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-users/user-registration-and-authentication/facebook-authentication.md) and displaying of Facebook content via web parts.

> **Info:** If you want to [post to Facebook](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/integrating-social-media/posting-to-social-media.md) from Kentico, you do not need to configure these settings. Instead, follow the procedure in [Connecting Kentico to social media](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/integrating-social-media/connecting-kentico-to-social-media.md) and [Adding social media accounts](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/community-features/integrating-social-media/adding-social-media-accounts.md).

We recommend that you **configure these settings for individual sites** separately. Configuring these settings on a global level could cause problems if you have multiple sites and each of the sites has a different associated Facebook page and Facebook App.
