# Reindex pages

The **Reindex pages** tool helps you notify Yandex about new and updated pages on your site.

## How to notify about changes

1. In Yandex Webmaster, go to **Indexing** → **Reindex pages**.
1. In the **Select site** field, choose a site from the list.
1. In the field that appears, enter the URLs of the pages that should be indexed first.

   {% note info %}

   There's a limit on how many URLs you can enter for your site's primary domain and all the subdomains. The limit is reset daily. To regularly submit a large number of pages, use the [Tags crawl](https://webmaster.yandex.com/site/indexing/crawl-metrika/) tool.
      
   {% endnote %}

1. Click **Send**.

## What files shouldn't be sent for reindexing?

The crawl tool is primarily designed for reindexing HTML pages, PDF files, Microsoft Office and OpenOffice documents, and text files (RTF, TXT). To find the complete list of file types that Yandex can index, see [What files can be included in search results?](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/robot-workings/documents-indexing.md)

It is not recommended to submit the following files for re-crawling:

* Robots.txt. robots.txt files are automatically re-crawled within several hours, so there's no need to manually trigger re-indexing.

* Favicon.ico. To reindex the favicon, add the site’s home page to the reindexing tool. [How do I edit or delete a favicon?](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/search-results/favicon.md#how-to-change).

* Sitemap files and other XML feeds (for example, product feeds in an online store). To index Sitemap files, add them in **Indexing** → **Sitemap files**. [How to update Sitemap files](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/indexing-options/sitemap.md#update).

Reindexing such files using the **Reindex pages** tool is not guaranteed.

## Requesting reindexing

After you submit a list of pages for reindexing, the robot will process your request and try to fulfill it. You can track the status of your submitted pages in the **Status** column:

| Status | Meaning |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| **In queue** | The indexing bot will visit these URLs first the next time it crawls your site. This process may take up to three days, but usually takes less.|
| **Request processed** | The indexing bot has visited the page. The data will be updated within two weeks. This status doesn't mean that the bot has indexed the page. For example, if indexing is blocked for the page, it won't appear in Yandex Search.|
| **Error** | The bot was unable to index the page and update the information about it in the search database. [Make sure](https://webmaster.yandex.com/tools/server-response/) that the page is accessible to the robot and the server returns the response quickly enough. Then send the page for reindexing.|

To track indexing and receive notifications about status changes, add the URL to your list of important pages. For more information, see [Important page monitoring](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/service/tracking-url.md).

- Information on the site has been modified, but the old version is displayed in the search results

  Make sure that:

  - The pages can be accessed by the robot (use the [Server response check](https://webmaster.yandex.com/tools/server-response/) tool).
  - The information about pages is present in the [Sitemap](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/controlling-robot/sitemap.md) file.
  - The Disallow and noindex prohibiting directives and the noindex HTML element in the [robots.txt](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/controlling-robot/robots-txt.md) file prevent only technical and duplicate pages from indexing.

- The site or individual pages are prohibited in robots.txt, but are still in the search

  If you followed the [instructions](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/yandex-indexing/removing-from-index.md) when deleting the site pages and more than two weeks passed after the site was crawled by the Yandex robot, fill out the form below:



  <div style="padding: 15px;
        margin: 10px 0;
        background: #FFFFFF;
        border-radius: 10px;

  </iframe>
  </div>


- The old pages have been deleted and redirect to new ones, but are still present in the search

  If you use a redirect, the robot will gradually track redirects and the old pages will disappear from the search results as it crawls the site. For the robot to learn about the changes faster, [send the pages for reindexing](https://webmaster.yandex.com/site/indexing/reindex/).

  If the page URLs change with the change of the site's domain name, it may take more than a month to update the search data. Check if the [site addresses are configured correctly](https://www.yandex.com/support/webmaster/en/yandex-indexing/site-addresses.md).


- The pages are sent for reindexing, but aren't removed from the search for more than two weeks
