Hey folks, sorry for yet another CMS question.

I was just wondering if there was any further explanation as to what the RSS and Sitemap options within the Collection element actually do?

I have them turned on, but I can’t see my CMS posts added to the sitemap.xml for my site, and I can’t see a sitemap.xml specifically for the section of the site where I’m using the CMS (the same for RSS).

Am I misunderstanding how these work or have I missed some key documentation on them?

At the moment it adds links to an RSS feed and sitemap for that Collection in to the `<head>` of the page.

There is currently no way of “discovering” the URLs for these unless you dig in to the page code and find the links.

Improvement to this feature is already on the roadmap 🙂

Thanks Ben, really helpful to know.

I did just look on my site and the Sitemap and RSS links in the both just return a 500 internal server error, is this to be expected for now?
