> 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).

This learning path prepares you to lead an upgrade from Kentico Xperience 13 to **Xperience by Kentico**. It pairs the decisions you make before any code moves with a worked example of the upgrade itself, so you can judge the effort and the risks before committing a team to them.

These lessons are written for solution architects and technical leads who own the upgrade plan. You'll get the most from them if you already know how the Kentico Xperience 13 project you're upgrading is put together.

You'll learn how to:

- Decide which features to migrate, rebuild, or retire, and sequence that work into a plan.
- Prepare the target project and transfer data and binary files with the Kentico Migration Tool.
- Adapt existing code to the new APIs, and get an upgraded page rendering with structured content and Page Builder.

By the end of this path, you'll have a solid upgrade strategy and a clear picture of what carrying it out involves.
