> **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).

| **Friend management path** | Node alias path of the page on which the **Friendship management** web part is placed. This is a special web part that handles friendship management actions from friendship request e-mails.<br>If a user receives an e-mail with friendship request, there are links for friendship approval or rejection included in the mail. When the user clicks one of the links, they are redirected to this page and the user guid and type of action is transferred in form of querystring parameters. The **Friendship management** web part processes the received parameters and performs the necessary tasks for friendship approval or rejection.<br>On the **Community Starter Site**, the _Special-pages/Friend-management_ page serves exactly this purpose. |
