The sitemap settings page can be used to add new sitemaps to the project.

To do this you need to go to the sitemap settings page for a project and click on “Add or Remove Sitemaps” on the top right of the page.

This will take you to the Add or Remove Sitemap page.

Here you can select the sitemap you want to add and hit save.

If you don’t see an XML sitemap you want to select you will need to add the XML sitemap(s) in Search Console Sitemap Report.

If you select a sitemap index file we will automatically download and monitor all the sitemaps from this file.

If you don’t want to monitor all the sitemaps within a sitemap index file, you can unselect the sitemaps you don’t want to monitor.

When you do this we will not monitor the sitemap index file or automatically download the sitemaps from the sitemap index file. This means that if any new XML sitemaps are added to the sitemap index our tool will not automatically download them.

When you have decided which sitemaps you want to add hit save and continue. A message will appear to confirm your decision. Hit “Download sitemaps”.

Our tool will download and monitor the important pages in the XML sitemap file you select. Indexing Insight will recalculate all the monitoring metrics for the project.

The sitemap settings page can be used to remove sitemaps from the project.

To do this you need to go to the sitemap settings page for a project and click on “Add or Remove Sitemaps” on the top right of the page.

Here you can unselect the sitemap you want from the project.

Hit save and a message will appear to confirm you understand what happens when you remove a XML sitemap from the project.

If you are happy to proceed hit remove sitemap.

You will be returned to the sitemap setting page. The monitoring metrics will be recalculated.

When you return to the sitemap or web properties project the next day you should see the new monitoring metrics.
