> 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).

Certain components that are primarily intended for use in the Kentico administration interface also appear on the live site. The following sections provide an overview of these administration components.

## Administration components

- Use styling of the Kentico administration interface
- [Browser requirements](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/installation/server-and-hosting-requirements.md) are the same as for the administration interface

  | Admin components            | Comment                                                                                    |
  | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
  | Document library            | Intended for live site users. Styled in **skin.css**.                                      |
  | User contribution - dialogs | Users must be editors to edit documents. Boostrap is linked due to the dialog master page. |

## Semi-administration components

Includes live site components that typically contain an administration interface type list ([UniGrid](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/references/kentico-controls/ui-controls/unigrid.md)).

- Browser requirements are the same as for the administration interface.
- Use site styling, however interference may occur with the administration interface design (for example Messaging dialogs with a selector).
- Partially use administration interface styling (for example for UniGrids).
- Buttons and dialogs can have site styling.
