> 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).

Each page in Kentico is of a specific type – a page type. Each page consists of:

- fields (data structure)
- editing form layout
- [transformations](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/developing-websites/loading-and-displaying-data-on-websites/writing-transformations.md) (design)
- queries

and other [properties](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/developing-websites/defining-website-data-structure/page-types/configuring-page-types/reference-page-type-properties.md).

Note: Kentico also allows you to create container page types. Container page types are suitable for storing queries and transformations. They don't contain any custom fields as they are created without a [coupled data table](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/custom-development/working-with-pages-in-the-api/page-database-structure.md). Create container page types as you would a [standard page type](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/developing-websites/defining-website-data-structure/page-types/creating-page-types.md) and select _The page type is only a container without custom fields_ in step 2.

You can work with page types in the **Page types** application.

Page types are fully customizable – you can add, modify and delete any custom fields. The advantage of using custom page types is that you can define custom structure and store content (data) separately from design.
