> 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).

Depending on how the administrator configured the system, there are up to 3 types of categories that you can create in Kentico:

- **Personal categories** - these categories belong to a specific user only, however, you can use them across all available sites.
- **Global categories** - these can be used across all available sites. You can create these when [assigning pages to categories](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/categorizing-pages/assigning-pages-to-categories.md).
- **Site-specific categories** - these can be used only on the site on which you created them. You can create these when [assigning pages to categories](https://docs.kentico.com/k82/managing-website-content/working-with-pages/categorizing-pages/assigning-pages-to-categories.md).
