> 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).

You can place a message board on any page of your website. It allows site visitors to send instant comments on the content of the given page. The system allows you to have unlimited number of message boards on one page.

To place a message board on a page, use the Message board web part.

1. Open the **Pages** application.
2. Select or create a page that will contain the message board.
3. Switch to the **Design** tab.
4. Add the **Message board** web part to a selected web part zone.
5. Set the web part properties in the **New board settings** section according to your preference.
6. Click **OK**.

A form for inserting new messages appears on the page. You can later change the settings of the message board while configuring the respective properties of the Message board web part.

> **Note:** After someone adds the first message to the message board, you can change its settings only in the **Message boards** application.
