> 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).

## Tips for microchannel navigation

- **Agree with your team first:** Always confirm the menu structure before creating it.
- **Keep menus short:** Aim for 3 - 5 items. Microsites work best with small and simple menus because they contain only a few pages. They usually serve a single purpose, and their visitors don’t need complex menus to find what they’re looking for.
- **Align navigation menu with the microsite’s purpose:** Every link should directly support the main goal of the microsite (e.g., product signup, campaign awareness, lead generation). Avoid adding unrelated links that could distract visitors.
- **Consider a footer for secondary links:** If you need to include less important pages (privacy policy, legal notices, etc.), place them in a simple footer navigation instead of the top menu.
