> 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 use Content rating to allow live site users to rate any document on your website, for example, if you want your website users to express their opinion about the quality of content. Content rating has no dedicated user interface - the overall rating of each document appears in the **Rating** field on the General tab in a document's **Properties**.

Enable content rating by placing the **Content rating** **web part** on a page. See [Using the Content rating web part](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/community-features/content-rating/using-the-content-rating-web-part.md) for more details.

You can also include a rating control in transformations to enable users to rate each transformed item. See [Displaying content rating in transformations](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/community-features/content-rating/displaying-content-rating-in-transformations.md).

The content rating functionality is also integrated in web parts belonging to the [Message boards](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/community-features/message-boards.md) application. This enables live site users to submit a rating along with a comment posted to the message board. To learn more, see [Using content rating in message boards](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/community-features/content-rating/using-content-rating-in-message-boards.md).
