> 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).

The _Content reuse locator_ feature helps you identify where your pages are linked and which channels display them. This is particularly valuable when you need to [edit](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/website-content/edit-and-publish-pages.md) or [delete](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/website-content/delete-pages.md) a page, as it shows the potential impact of your changes. For instance, you can verify whether a page you plan to delete appears in published content, helping you avoid breaking existing content.

The chain of usage starts with items that directly reference your page. These items, in turn, may be used in other items (found under _Related items_), and this pattern continues. Unfolding these chains of usage creates a tree-like structure, illustrating how your page is referenced across different levels.

> **Note:** **Tracking limitations**
>
> The system tracks page usages in most default components of other pages, [reusable content items](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/content-hub/content-items.md), [headless items](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/headless-content.md), and [emails](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/digital-marketing/emails.md), but pages can also be linked elsewhere. See [Tracking coverage and limitations](#tracking-coverage-and-limitations) for details.

To view the usages of a page:

1. Open a website channel application.
2. Select the page you want to track from the content tree.
3. Navigate to the **Used in** tab to view where the selected page is used.

## Tracking coverage and limitations

The system tracks a page's usage when it's:

- Linked in a [content item](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/content-hub/content-items.md), page, [headless item](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/headless-content.md), or [email](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/digital-marketing/emails.md) field that uses the [Combined content selector](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/customization/extend-the-administration-interface/ui-form-components/reference-admin-ui-form-components.md#combined-content-selector) component, [Page selector](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/customization/extend-the-administration-interface/ui-form-components/reference-admin-ui-form-components.md#page-selector) component, or [rich text editor](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/rich-text-editor.md) component.
- Linked in _Page Builder_ or _Email Builder_ widget properties that use the _Combined content selector_, _Page selector_, or _rich text editor_ component.
  - [Rich text inline editor](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/development/builders/page-builder/widgets-for-page-builder/rich-text-inline-editors.md) requires developers to enable the feature (see [Page Builder](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/development/builders/page-builder/widgets-for-page-builder/rich-text-inline-editors.md#track-usages-in-the-default-editor) and [Email Builder](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/development/builders/email-builder/inline-editors-email-builder-widgets.md#track-usages-in-the-default-editor)).
- Linked in [the default rich text widget](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/development/builders/page-builder/reference-default-page-builder-widgets.md) in _Page Builder_.

The system does **not track** or display usage of pages in:

- [Notifications](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/configuration/notifications.md)
- [Campaign](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/digital-marketing/campaigns.md) assets
- Properties of [custom automation components](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/digital-marketing-setup/automation-customization.md)
- Custom fields added to [extendable system object types](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/customization/object-types/extend-system-object-types.md) or in custom classes
- Already sent [emails](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/business-users/digital-marketing/emails.md), as changes to pages cannot affect emails that have already been delivered
- Custom [inline editors](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/development/builders/page-builder/widgets-for-page-builder/inline-editors-for-widget-properties.md) and custom [UI form components](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/customization/extend-the-administration-interface/ui-form-components.md), unless tracking is [added by developers](https://docs.kentico.com/documentation/developers-and-admins/customization/extend-the-administration-interface/ui-form-components/ui-form-component-reference-extractors.md)

You should manually check whether a page is used in notification emails, campaigns or custom class fields before making any significant edits or deletions.
