What is Site Markers and How to use them in Power Pages

Site markers are configurable, named value that points to a web page on your power page/portal website that is accessed in code in place of a hard-coded URL. Most of the times you might be using URLs in some links element which are hard coded or static. But as a best practice and better management, you need to use Site markers which will help you to dynamically use the URL using Site markers.

If in any case the URL is need to be updated, then no need to update code, you just need to update the Site marker and the page will be automatically using the Site marker to new URL.
