What is a sitemap?

A sitemap is a file that lists the public pages you want search engines to discover and crawl.

Direct answer

A sitemap helps search engines find important URLs. It does not force indexing, but it makes discovery cleaner.

Launch use

42flows should submit its sitemap in Google Search Console after the public page network is live.
