# How do I notify Yandex about new and updated pages on my site?
With Yandex Webmaster, you can notify Yandex about your site updates in several ways. Use the tools described below to make sure information from your site that appears in search results is up to date. This helps improve search quality as users can find on your site the information relevant to their queries.
Choose an indexing method based on your situation and your site's specific features. We recommend that you combine various methods that suit you. For example, you can add a sitemap to Yandex Webmaster, enable crawling with the Yandex Metrica tag, and install the IndexNow plugin. It's also possible to manually add links to the pages you want to reindex on the **Reindex pages** page.
## Reindex pages {#recrawl}
To notify Yandex of new and updated site pages, go to **Indexing** → **Reindex pages** and specify the links for reindexing. The Yandex indexing bot will visit the specified URLs before anything else next time it crawls your site. Page indexing may take between 3 and 7 days.
On the same page, you can check the statuses of the pages you submitted and add pages for tracking to the **Important page monitoring** tool.
{% note info %}
If you deleted a page from your site and now want to exclude this page from search results, use a special Yandex Webmaster tool: **Tools** → **Remove pages from search results**.
{% endnote %}

## Sitemap files {#sitemap}
On the **Indexing** → **Sitemap files** page, you can add a new site map or submit an old one for reindexing. This method is especially useful when you add a lot of new site pages, which results in significant changes to the site map.

## Crawling with a tag {#metrika}
You can enable page crawling based on data from a Yandex Metrica tag on the **Indexing** → **Tags crawl** page in Yandex Webmaster. This requires a tag linked to Yandex Webmaster to be installed on your site's pages.

## The IndexNow protocol {#indexnow}
