## Step 3: Add URLs to Your Scan

After configuring the scan type (Step 2), the **Add URLs** section (Step 3) allows you to populate the test targets. You can choose from one of the following input methods.

### 1. Add URLs Manually

Use this method when you want full control over each scanned URL or you’re testing only a handful of critical paths.

**Instructions:**

- Paste each URL in a new line or input box.  
- Ensure proper formatting (`https://` required).

**Best for:**

- Login pages, checkout flows, admin pages.

### 2. Import via CSV File

Use this method when you already maintain URL lists in a spreadsheet or text file.

**CSV Format:**  
One URL per line (no header).

```csv  
[https://example.com](https://example.com)  
[https://example.com/pricing](https://example.com/pricing)  
[https://example.com/contact](https://example.com/contact)  
```

**Instructions**:

- Click on Import CSV.  
- Upload your .csv file.  
- URLs will auto-populate the scan list.

Ideal for:

- Large teams with pre-approved page lists.  
- Reusing URL sets across projects.

### 3. Import via Sitemap

Use this method when:

- you want to extract URLs from an existing sitemap  
- you’re scanning a dynamic, live website.

**Instructions**:

- Paste the sitemap URL (XML format).  
- Click Fetch Sitemap.  
- The scanner will auto-detect URLs.  
- You can selectively check/uncheck desired pages.

Ideal for:

- Scanning large public websites.  
- Ensuring complete coverage.

### URL Limits and Validations

**Max URL Limit**: would depend upon your SmartUI ( _for visual scan_) and Accessibility ( _for accessibility scan_) plan.

**All URLs must be valid and working.**

**Duplicate URLs will be auto-filtered**

**Reusability Tips**

- For frequently used URL sets, save them in CSVs and upload as needed.  
- Create and save CSV url lists from sitemap and use in CSV mode for future.
