Right now, sitemap as I can see uses all links from the shop. Is there a way to set that sitemap only uses some of the links. For example, only categories. No articles etc. Just categories?

Thank you

&nbsp;I am not sure how this will effect url’s under sitemap.xml file?&nbsp; Since this is just a front controller, and url’s are generated with command sw:generate:sitemap

I ended up creating plugin, and adding my own services for&nbsp;SitemapExporter
