Here's Where Fetch Is In The New Google Console
I just saw a post from a member asking where Fetch As Google is in the new Google Console and I thought I would do a quick post showing where it is.
Here's where you find and use it:
Simply add the complete URL you want to have indexed (inspected) in the Inspect Any URL found at the top of your search console.
A new window will open up and there you will see that link to request indexing (fetch). Click the Request Indexing link and you're good to go.
This is what the page will look like after you have a successful fetch, all green.
You'll also find the inspection link in the side menu of your search console
Hope this helps
I beleive in you

thanks for the great answer. Apparently the word "fetch" means "request indexing". I appreciate your information.
That's right "request indexing" which when you think about it, is a more accurate description
I think I'll stick with the old version as long as possible, Leo.
But, I'll definitely bookmark this blog to remind me how to use the new version - which I am not particularly fond of...

I get it - I was the same - but once you used to the new version you'll find its much better then the old one
The one difference is that in the Search Analytics - that shows total clicks, total impressions, ave. CTR, and ave. Position, the keyword list isn't numbered in the new version.
For example, with the old version, I can just scan quickly down the list to see how many keywords are ranking on page 1.
On the new version, I have to "finger count" them to see how many are ranking on page 1.

Thank you very much, have been using the old version and wanted to quit going back and forth!
Thank you Leo, is it necessary to use fetch, I have set the crawling on daily and priority 1.0 in the Google XML sitemap.
Isn't it so that Google pays a visit every day?
When you “Request Indexing” you are asking Googlebot to specifically crawl the page or post.
Submitting sitemaps is implied though not a plainly expressed request for Googlebot to crawl your pages. And because of that there is a chance not that all your sites URLs will be crawled.
You can have things as they are, but anytime you have new content added to your site I would recommend fetching it just to be sure it does get crawled.
