> 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).

Depending on how your administrator configured the system, you can categorize pages in the two following ways:

- On the Properties tab
- On the Form tab

## Assigning pages to categories on the Properties tab

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Select the page that you want to categorize.
3. Switch to the **Properties -> Categories** tab. If the page is already assigned into certain categories, you can see them listed.

4. Click **Add categories**. A **Select categories** dialog opens. If the category that you want to assign the page into doesn't exist, create it.

   **To create a new category:**

   1. Click on where you want to place the category and click **New**.
