The built-in option for Magento simply takes all the products and makes the sitemap. Which will work for 95% of the stores out there. But if your working on a really custom shop you might want to create your own. This one shop I’m working on has all Configurable Products so I do not want the simple products showing in my sitemap.
I also want to turn off categories like “featured” that I use for sliders and such.
