Summary
Documents an update to how
sitemap.xmlandrobots.txtbehave on partially authenticated documentation sites (sites with auth enabled and at least one public page).Previously, both files required authentication on any auth-enabled deployment. Now, when a partially authenticated site includes public pages:
sitemap.xmlandrobots.txtare publicly accessible.Fully authenticated sites (no public pages) still require authentication for both files, with sitemaps continuing to exclude pages in groups.
Changes
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only updates that change no runtime behavior; risk is limited to potentially confusing/incorrect guidance if the new access rules are misstated.
Overview
Updates docs to reflect new
sitemap.xml/robots.txtbehavior on partially authenticated sites with public pages: both files are now described as publicly accessible, with the sitemap showing only public pages to anonymous visitors and adding ungrouped pages for authenticated users.Clarifies that fully authenticated sites still require auth to access
sitemap.xml/robots.txt, and that sitemaps continue to exclude group-restricted pages. Applies the same wording updates across English, Spanish, French, and Chinese docs (Authentication feature table + SEO note).Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit c1e9999.
