Sitemaps - are they really necessary?

Thanks all for your responses.

But does one’s sitemap get automatically updated when changes/additions are made to one’s site? Or, do I have to update it as I make additions to it? I’ve made additions, and then checked my sitemap the next day and it’s the same. The new links aren’t there.

Thanks.

You have to update your sitemaps every time you add a new page to your website.
