Why do Draft items appear in the sitemap.xml?

Publishing help SEO

Hey guys,

I just realized that some CMS Draft items (that have not been published before) appear in my auto-generated sitemap.xls.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael, that’s unintended behavior - we’ll take a look now.

Great. Let me know if you need some more information/ preview link etc.

Thanks,

A fix has been pushed and draft items should no longer be showing up in the generated sitemap. Once you re-publish your site you should see a correct sitemap.xml file.
