Dreamweaver CC 2017 XML Sitemaps

I have been using Dreamweaver as part of the Master Collection since CS5,

Thursday January 26th, 2016 Adobe pre-sales chat informed me Dreamweaver CC 2017 will create XML Sitemaps.

I was so happy to be informed of this, I bought Creative Cloud with all its apps.

Now all I need is someone to explain why I can't find how to create XML Sitemaps in Dreamweaver, Google, this Forum or any where else on the Globe.

The syntax is dirt simple.

</urlset>

Rinse, lather & repeat <url> as needed.

I think you were misinformed or likely misunderstood what they told you.

DW CC can certainly create & edit XML code.  But you would need to understand sitemap syntax.  There's no magic button for auto generating site maps.  You would need an XML generator which is freely available online.

    I buy misinformed. But defiantly not misunderstood. I have used xml-sitemaps.com for years, however the free service won't do images and the paid service is far too complicated and will not write to my servers.

    Maps view was removed but able to see in CS6 with some registry trickery and of course did not work.

    Such a fine program missing a key element. very
