WEBSITE CONTENT INVENTORY · Workflow idea

Find the pages you need in a large website inventory.

Start from a website’s public page inventory, organize its listed addresses, and narrow the results to the kinds of pages a team wants to review. Keep the website and filtering purpose clear, then let a content or site owner verify the selected pages before using the list for research, updates, or sharing.

Keep in mind

A listed address may be outdated, private, or outside the intended review scope.
