> 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).

Users with the appropriate [permissions](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/on-line-marketing-features/configuring-on-line-marketing-permissions.md#content-personalization) can now [create personalization variants](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/on-line-marketing-features/content-personalization/managing-personalization-variants.md) of page components. When visitors view personalized pages on the live website, the system processes the variants and displays the corresponding content.

> **Note:** **Note**: If you disable content personalization at a later time:
>
> - Existing personalization variants on your website will not be deleted. The system stops processing the conditions of variants on personalized pages and always displays the default content on the live website.
> - Users will no longer be able to manage personalization variants or define new ones.
