Creating sitemap sections

Creating sitemap sections

Creating sitemap sections helps organizations like companies and schools organize their websites, especially with lots of content and departments.
These sections group related content, making navigation easier for users. Whether separating divisions or targeting specific audiences, sitemap sections provide a clear way to manage large websites.
This guide will show you how to create and manage these sections manually and using Slickplan’s AI assistant.
