> **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).

To edit pages, use the **Pages** application in the Kentico administration interface. The editing process depends on the type of the page:

- For structured pages, you mainly edit the content on the **Form** or **Content** tab.
- For Page (menu item) pages, you mainly edit the content on the **Page** tab.

On this page, you can learn about:

## Editing pages in the Pages application

   7. Use [the editor](https://docs.kentico.com/k12sp/managing-website-content/using-the-editor.md) to make changes in the editable region.
2. **Save** the changes that you made.

The system reloads the page to display the updated content. You can now preview the changes that you made to the page.

### Previewing the changes that you made to the page

You can preview how the changed page looks by switching to the **Preview** view mode.

The **Preview** mode allows you to see how the page looks even if it has not been published yet. That is, you always see the last version of the page.

![Switching to preview](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/k12sp/editing-pages/switching_to_preview.png)

The live site allows you to see the page the way site visitors currently see it. Note, however, that the live site may not always show the latest version of the page that you edited, for example when the latest version of the page has not been published yet. To open the live site, use the **Live site** button in the [Applicationlist](https://docs.kentico.com/k12sp/using-the-kentico-interface.md).

## Renaming pages

In Kentico, each page in the content tree has its name derived from the value of a particular field. The page name source field is determined by the page's type.

To rename a page, you need to edit the content of the field that is mapped as the page name source:

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Navigate to the page you want to rename.
3. Switch to the **Form** or **Content** tab.
4. Edit the content of the appropriate field.
   - The name of the field usually contains keywords such as _Title_ or _Name_.

     > **Tip:** If the **Form** / **Content** tab contains too many fields or you are not able to find to correct field, you can ask an administrator to identify the field in the **Page types** application:
     >
     > 1. Open the **Page types** application and edit the page type of the page you wish to rename.
     >    - To find out the page type of a page, in the **Pages** application click **Properties -> General** and see the **Type** field.
     > 2. Switch to the **Fields** tab.
     > 3. In the **Page name source field** drop-down, you can see which field is used as the page name.
     > 4. Select the page name field in the panel on the left.
     > 5. In the **Field appearance** category, find **Field caption** (this value is displayed on the **Form** or **Content** tab of pages).
