  4. You can add a teaser title to the Teaser Title field. This text is shown when you use the site map as a teaser.

  5. You can limit the depth of the displayed site map hierarchy. Enter the maximum depth into the Sitemap Depth field. The default value is "3".

Now you can use the new Sitemap item in your site.
