You can distribute the latest updates from content managed in Studio.Design CMS via RSS for each CMS model (article type).
An RSS feed is a way to share updates from your website.
Readers of the articles published on your site can get the latest updates directly using an RSS reader or RSS-compatible browser.
If your RSS feed content is set up properly, it can also have a positive effect on search engine performance.

"By using both XML sitemaps and RSS/Atom feeds, you can effectively optimize crawling by Google and other search engines. The key pieces of information are canonical URLs and last-modified dates. By setting these up properly and notifying search engines like Google through sitemap pings or PubSubHubbub, you can ensure optimal crawling and have your website reflected in search results as intended."

How to Set Up an RSS Feed
This feature is available when your site is published.
In the CMS dashboard, click "Model Settings" for the model (article type) you want to configure.
After publishing your site in the project, simply enable "RSS Feed Settings" and you're all set.
Your RSS feed URL will be published, and you'll be able to access a page like this:
Important Notes
In Studio.Design's RSS feeds, the article's "Author" and "Cover Image" are defined using the following XML tags:
Author:
Studio:authorName,Studio:authorImageCover Image (OGP):
enclosure,media:content
These tags reflect the first Image property and User-type model reference property added to that model.
* If you delete that property, the next property you add will be used instead.
After enabling RSS feed settings, visit your RSS feed URL and verify that the content is being distributed correctly based on the information above.
Here are some additional details to keep in mind:
If you unpublish your site, the RSS feed setting will also be turned off.
Even if the RSS feed setting is enabled, if the model has 0 published items, the RSS URL will return an error (404).
Each RSS feed outputs up to the 25 most recently published items from the model.
If the referenced item in a reference property (author model) is set to "Draft" or is not selected, no error will occur — the author information will simply be distributed as blank.
The RSS feed language setting (
language) is based on your "Site Settings." It cannot be changed per model.Unlike your published site URL, the RSS feed URL does not redirect from the Studio.Design domain to a custom domain.
When you submit your RSS feed URL as a sitemap in Google Search Console, it may initially show "Couldn't fetch." Wait a little while, then check or reload the Search Console page — it should update to "Success."
