Sitemap Updates

[gene]

Does sitemap created by Shopsite automatically sent to Google after every published? I already sent a sitemap thru Google Webmaster Tools, however, does this sitemap automatically updates as new products are published?

The sitemap generated by ShopSite is placed in the output directory of your store. Google then uses a spider to search for the page and incorporate the sitemap into their indexes.

The sitemap will be generated each time you publish if you have the box checked on the Utilities > Publish screen. But how often Google checks the file is up to them.
