Short answer
Resource hubs show how competitors educate the market through guides, reports, templates, webinars, ebooks, and comparison content. A resource hub is monitored through a supported sitemap, RSS, or Atom endpoint. Successful checks write unseen likely-content entries directly to Articles.

Content Radar can monitor a resource hub through its public sitemap, RSS, or Atom endpoint. A hub landing page itself is not a general page-change source.
Why it matters
Resource hubs reveal the topics a competitor considers important enough to invest in long-form, evergreen content, often the same topics that drive search traffic and lead generation.
Reviewing new resource hub pages alongside your own library is a practical way to find content gaps: topics, formats, or comparison angles a competitor covers that you do not yet have.
