Your sitemaps will stay synced with Google Search Console for as long as the connection between All in One SEO and Google Search Console is maintained. This applies to the XML Sitemap, RSS Sitemap, Video Sitemap, and News Sitemap if you have these.
Manual Submission of Sitemaps to Google Search Console
Once you have added your site as a property in Google Search Console, navigate to “Sitemaps” in the left-hand menu. You’ll see the Add a new sitemap box at the top of the screen.
Enter the URL for your sitemap, click the Submit button and you are done.
You only need to enter the last part of the URL as the domain name is already filled out for you. The default names for the sitemaps created by All in One SEO are:
- XML Sitemap: sitemap.xml
- Video Sitemap: video-sitemap.xml

IMPORTANT:
It can take a while for Google to process your sitemap. The length of time they take is entirely up to them and you cannot force them to process your sitemap any faster, so please be patient.
NOTE:
The XML Sitemap created by All in One SEO automatically includes all your images, so it means you don’t have to submit a separate Image Sitemap.
