What is it?

The Site Map widget provides a way for people to navigate and explore your community. The community Administrator can select the root location of the Site Map widget and it will display all navigable areas of your community from there. For example, a Site Map widget could be used to display only the [pages](and Channels that are part of that space. Alternatively, it could show the entire layout of your community.

Selecting any of the links in the Site Map widget will bring a person to that page in your community. People can only view items that they have the proper access for.
