When to Fetch?

[muzzmoz]

If I'm about to submit a new sitemap for Google to crawl, is there any need to use the Fetch tool?

I'd recommend using something like Screaming frog to run a scan and make sure site wide you are healthy before pushing a new sitemap in Search console.

Hey there -

Assuming you are talking about an XML sitemap, not an HTML sitemap, you shouldn't need to Fetch your site when you do this. You're literally telling Google about your pages through your XML sitemap, so they should crawl that sitemap pretty fast.
