> 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).

WebDAV Browse mode enables you to **map the content** of your website **as a network drive** in your operating system. Files stored by the website can be found on the drive, letting you **open, edit and save** the files in a client application just as if they were stored on your local drive.

To start using WebDAV Browse mode, you need to meet all [requirements ](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/managing-website-content/configuring-the-environment-for-content-editors/configuring-webdav/webdav-requirements-and-limitations.md)and performed the necessary configuration. After that, you only need to [map the network drive](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/managing-website-content/configuring-the-environment-for-content-editors/configuring-webdav/webdav-browse-mode/mapping-a-webdav-network-drive.md) in the operating system. When the network drive is mapped, you can start editing website files right away.

The network drive contains the following folders:

- attachments – contains document attachments and files stored in documents' file fields. They can be found in folders resembling the website's content tree structure.
- content – contains CMS.File documents stored in folders resembling the website's content tree structure.
- media – contains a folder for each media library on the website, while each folder contains the actual content of the respective library.
- groups – contains a folder for each group defined on the site, while each group folder contains the three folders mentioned above, containing only those attachments, content and media that belong to the particular group.

The **media** and **groups** folders may not be present if the Media libraries and Groups applications aren't installed.
