 To view the lists of Sitemaps you've added for a site, click the number in the Sitemaps column beside the site. You can also click the site and then click the '''"Sitemaps"''' tab. The '''"Sitemaps"''' tab for that site opens. When you initially add a Sitemap, the status displays as '''Pending'''. Once Google processes your Sitemap (which may take several hours), this status will change to either OK or to an error. If you receive an error, click on it to view additional information.
