Once installed, click the "Configure" link to reach this page.

The first step is to decide whether or not to display the products that you have not activated in your shop. If you want to use all products, check "Sitemap contains all products".

Once you've finished configuring the module, click on "Update sitemap file”file". You are given the Sitemap’s Sitemap's address (e.g., myprestashop.com/sitemap.xml). Copy this URL to save it to your Google Webmaster Tools account. The module will then show you the file size and the number of pages indexed.
