New user of siteMap Plus and am confused about the Page Descriptions on the Site Map Plus page vs the description meta tag in RW. I can see that the two do not propagate or sync to each other. Therefore, is it best to just copy and paste the same text into each or does one overwrite the other?

Thanks.

Thanks. I think I’ll use the SiteMap Plus because its easy to see every page’s description all at once.

They are exactly the same data, SMP reads the individual page’s descriptions AND writes to them.  
The advantage of editing them through SMP is that they’re visually all in one place.
