# Generate sitemap

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/writerside/llms.txt).

Writerside can generate a [sitemap](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/overview) of your help website. It provides information about the content to help search engines crawl your site more efficiently.

Procedure: Enable sitemap generation

By default, Writerside does not generate a sitemap.

1. In your documentation project, open  `[buildprofiles.xml](buildprofiles-xml.html)`  or create it if you do not have it yet.

2. Add the `<sitemap>` tag with optional attributes that set the priority and change frequency.

```XML
<buildprofiles xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://resources.jetbrains.com/writerside/1.0/build-profiles.xsd"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <sitemap priority="0.35" change-frequency="monthly"/>
</buildprofiles>
```

When enabled, Writerside generates a `sitemap.xml` file that contains URLs and other information about all built topic files:

```
<url>
    <loc>https://www.jetbrains.com/help/writerside/discover-writerside.html</loc>
    <lastmod>2024-01-02</lastmod>
    <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.35</priority>
</url>
```
