Hi there,

just new to this piece of software and might simply not get it ....

I've ran a scan (some 10.000 Urls on the site) and when finished I wanted to save the scan, however, only getting the option to save as *.csm file ... not xml which I must have for google.

I options "both" was the default setting so it should do html and xml.

Am I missing something here ? :/

I believe the default 'Save' is that it saves .xml, .html and .csm files

You need to click "Create Map" to actually get your sitemap. Clicking Save just saves the project and settings.

Have you gone all the way through the upload process? At some point, I think right at the end it asks if you want to upload files, then it should list 3 or 4 formats.
