Click any version to expand and view the full release notes. {% hint style="info" %} **YouDesign is now YouDesign Models.** As of v26.0, we have renamed the product to better reflect what it does and the broader YouDesign product family it belongs to. Older releases below refer to the product as "YouDesign" — this is the same application. {% endhint %}
Version 26.1 Version 26.1 builds on the foundation laid in 26.0. The **AI Assistant** now reads PDFs and documents, reproduces page layouts from screenshots, builds slide decks, and draws proper BPMN, C4 and ArchiMate diagrams. The **Migrator** can now bring in **Visio**, **BPMN** and **ArchiMate** files alongside YouDesign Designer diagrams. Relationships get **customizable arrowheads** and their own **Links tab**, **HOP** can follow relationships up, down or both ways, **Kanban boards and swimlanes** are simpler to set up and work with, **BPMN sub-processes** can now be expanded and collapsed, and new **Entity Table** shapes let you draw ERD diagrams. This release also completes a large **accessibility programme**: the whole application can now be operated from the keyboard, is announced correctly by screen readers, and stays usable at 400% zoom and in high-contrast mode. Two terms have changed to match what they actually mean: **Publish is now Commit** (you commit changes to ServiceNow), and Data Hub **Elements are now Records**. **New Features**

AI Assistant - BPMN diagram generation

* **AI Assistant — richer inputs, better diagrams.** The Assistant has taken a big step forward since its first release: * **Attach more than images.** Alongside screenshots and images, you can now attach **PDF documents**, **SVG files** and **text or Markdown files**. Follow-up questions remember what you attached earlier in the conversation. * **Rebuild a page from a screenshot.** A board generated from a dashboard or web page now keeps the proportions and layout of the original instead of stacking everything in one tall column. * **Architecture diagrams that hold together.** Ask for a **BPMN process**, a **C4 architecture** or an **ArchiMate view** and the Assistant places pools, lanes, boundaries and groupings correctly. Hand-offs between actors run left to right across the lanes of a single pool. * **Works with your existing records.** When a diagram mentions something that already exists in your Data Hub, the Assistant reuses that record and its relationships instead of creating a duplicate. * **Asks before guessing.** When a request is ambiguous, the Assistant asks a short clarification question rather than producing the wrong thing. * **Slide decks.** Ask for a presentation and the Assistant researches the topic and lays out a deck of slides on the board, complete with charts and source citations. * **Choose the model** you want to work with from the model selector. A hint suggests the model best suited to the task, such as a stronger model for research decks and a faster one for small edits. * **Transparency built in.** The composer states that content is AI-generated, and generated board content is marked as such, in line with the EU AI Act's transparency requirements. {% hint style="warning" %} **Administrators:** after updating, review your **AI Provider** records. Newer models are only offered in the model selector when the provider record allows them, so compare your records with the examples shipped with the app and update the allowed models. See [AI Configuration](/models/admin/ai-configuration.md). {% endhint %}

* **Migrator — Visio, BPMN and ArchiMate sources.** The Migrator now brings diagrams from more tools into YouDesign Models: * **Visio (.vsdx)** drawings, including colours, connectors, containers, pools and lanes. Each Visio page becomes a frame on the board. * **BPMN XML** files. A file with several diagrams is migrated into several frames on one board. * **ArchiMate Open Exchange Format** files (both 2.1 and 3.x exports). * A reworked, guided **migration wizard** with a readiness check, side-by-side comparison of the source and the migrated board, and mapping management for shapes that need a manual match. * BPMN files keep more of their look: shape, text and connector colours, boundary events, event sub-processes and data associations all come across, and diagrams drawn very small are scaled up so shapes no longer overlap. * The **Create mapping** dialog searches every active shape by name or library folder and previews the chosen target shape. A new **Use the target shape table** option gives migrated shapes the table of the Models shape they are mapped to, and your Configure settings are remembered between runs.

Migrator - Designer, BPMN, Visio and ArchiMate sources

* **Customizable arrowheads.** Each end of a relationship can now have its own arrowhead shape, size, border colour and fill. Choose from the arrowhead picker in the format toolbar, or switch the fill off for a hollow arrowhead. New outlined circle-fork arrowheads are also available. A UML **Collection** connector has been added to the available relationship shapes.

Customizable arrowheads - shape, size and fill per end

* **HOP — choose the direction.** HOP now lets you choose which way to follow relationships: **Upstream**, **Downstream** or **Both**, alongside the existing depth, table and relationship-type options.

HOP - Upstream, Downstream or Both

* **Links on relationships.** Relationships and related-list connections now have their own **Links** tab in the Data Panel, just like shapes. From the toolbar you can open the ServiceNow form of a CI relationship or a related-list entry directly. Relationships without a form link get an **Add Link** button in the tab. * **Current vs. Future State.** A new **Future State Indicator** toggle in the Realtime Indicators panel marks the records and relationships that are planned rather than current, and the toolbar groups a mixed selection by state so you can style current and future items separately.

Realtime Indicators panel - Future State Indicator toggle

* **Kanban and swimlanes made simpler.** New simplified swimlane layouts, Kanban boards that arrive with a sensible default set of lanes and tasks, and automatically numbered names for new lanes and tasks ("Task 3" instead of another "Task"). * **BPMN sub-processes that expand and collapse (YouDesign BPM Process 26.1).** The BPMN shape library ships around 20 reworked sub-process shapes: Sub Process, Ad-hoc Sub Process, Event Sub Process, and the interrupting and non-interrupting event sub-processes for message, timer, conditional, signal, multiple, parallel multiple, escalation, error and compensation. Each can be collapsed to a single task or expanded to show the process inside, with its relationships staying visible. Sub-processes are also recognised when importing BPMN files.

BPMN sub-process - collapse to a single task, expand to see the process inside

* **Entity Tables for ERD diagrams.** Two new Basic Shapes, **Entity Table** and **Entity Field**, let you build entity-relationship diagrams: name the entity, add field rows with key markers and types, and connect tables with relationships. Rows can be navigated with the keyboard.

Entity Table - add fields, connect tables, collapse a table

Kanban - insert lanes and numbered tasks from the toolbar

* **Hierarchy Map — Records with relationships only.** A new toggle shows only the records that have relationships, hiding the rest to keep large maps readable.

Hierarchy Map settings - Records with relationships only

* **Insert a single record from the Data Hub.** Hold **Alt/Option** while dragging a record (or press **Alt+Enter**) to insert just that record without pulling in its whole hierarchy.

Data Hub - Alt+drag inserts a single record without its hierarchy

* **Keyboard-first editing.** You can now do far more without a mouse: * **Arrow keys** nudge the selected shapes; hold **Shift** for larger steps. * **F2** renames the selected element. * **Space** jumps to the current selection. * Create relationships, rotate, cut, copy and delete from the keyboard, with each action announced to screen readers. * All shortcuts are listed in the Learning Center.

Keyboard editing - nudge with the arrow keys and rename with F2

* **Admin: commit controls.** Global Settings has a new **Commits** section. Admins can control which record states may be committed and switch on **Prevent Duplicate Relationships** so the same relationship cannot be committed twice.

Global Settings - Commits section

* **Realtime Indicators on dot-walked fields.** Indicators can now be configured on fields reached through a reference (for example `assigned_to.department`). **Improvements — Accessibility** This release completes the accessibility work started in 26.0. YouDesign Models now meets WCAG 2.2 AA across the application: * Every dialog, menu, panel, toolbar and the diagram canvas itself is operable from the **keyboard**, with a visible focus indicator and no keyboard traps. Grids, trees and colour pickers are a single Tab stop with arrow-key navigation inside. * **Screen readers** announce canvas actions (selection, moves, links, renames), dialog openings, toasts, and state changes such as toggles, layer visibility and Explorer checkboxes. Tested with VoiceOver and NVDA. * **Contrast** fixed across buttons, switches, checkboxes, tabs, chips, menu items, disabled states, the Table Panel and the Global Settings editors. * The interface **reflows at 400% zoom** and on small screens, respects the browser's minimum font size, honours **reduced-motion** preferences and works under **Windows High Contrast** and Firefox forced colours. * Every browser tab now has a descriptive, localized title (for example "Board name - Edit - YouDesign Models"). * Every dialog has a close **X** and can be dismissed with **Esc**. **Improvements — Usability** * **Board Versioning:** Approved and Archived versions are now locked and open in Presentation mode only. Clicking a version's name opens it. Version names and descriptions are capped at a sensible length.

Board Versioning - an Approved version opens in Presentation mode only

* **Board Search:** press **Cmd/Ctrl+F** to jump straight into the search field, walk the results with **Enter**, and see the current board selection highlighted in the list. The modal keeps a stable width.

Board Search - Cmd/Ctrl+F, then Enter walks the results

* **Data Panel:** a **Refresh** button reloads the record's fields and confirms with a notification. * **Table Panel:** a new row or column takes the styling of its neighbours, the cell menu has clear remove-row and remove-column actions, and **Reset style** clears every cell. * **Kanban:** **Reset style** on a Kanban board now resets its lanes and tasks too. * **Export:** the Realtime Indicators legend is now included for relationship indicators, is drawn in proportion to the board, wraps long field names and lays out neatly on short boards. Unnamed frames appear as "Untitled Frame" in the export selection.

Export - Realtime Indicators legend included in the exported image

* **Hierarchy Map:** collapsing a container now shrinks the map around it, newly added records render above existing content, and container widths are preserved when nested groups are collapsed. * **Settings**: Global Settings are refreshed each time the page is opened, so changes made directly in ServiceNow show up immediately. * **Home page:** the Teamspaces drawer collapses on small screens, and **Remove all filters** is back. * **Text editing:** trailing spaces are trimmed when you finish editing. * **Presenter:** users with presentation-only access are taken straight to the presenter, and the presenter toolbars stay visible while the mouse rests on them. * **Templates:** the preview image you upload for a template is shown immediately and validated, and JPEG files are accepted. * Toolbar popups close when their button is clicked again or once an option has been used. * Undo/redo tooltips open to the right so they no longer cover the buttons. **Fixes — Canvas, shapes and relationships** * Fixed being unable to re-link a non-visual relationship, and the relationship popup appearing for loaded dependencies. * Fixed incorrect routing after moving a shape. * Fixed

Version 26.0 This is our biggest release to date, and it marks a turning point for the product. With v26.0 we are **rebranding to YouDesign Models** — a clearer name that reflects what the tool does and the broader product family it now belongs to. Alongside the new identity, this release introduces the **AI Assistant**, a new **Settings page** with personal preferences, language selection, and accessibility options, major advances in **Related Lists** (many-to-many support and Realtime Indicators on related lists), a new **Export Whole Canvas** option, substantial **accessibility and WCAG-compliance work**, a refreshed color system, and improvements across every area of the product. We have also switched to a new, date-based versioning scheme — **26.0** (year.release). Future releases in 2026 will follow as 26.1, 26.2, and so on.
**New Features** * **YouDesign is now YouDesign Models.** As part of the v3.0 rebranding initiative, all user-facing labels, titles, configuration strings, and internal references have been renamed across the application and its supporting tooling. * **AI Assistant.** Meet the **AI Assistant** — a new way to work with diagrams in YouDesign Models. Describe what you want in plain language or drop in an image, and the Assistant turns it into diagram content you can refine on the canvas. The Assistant also helps you work with what's already there: * **Organize your boards** — cluster elements by keyword to surface structure in existing diagrams. * **Polish your text** — fix grammar and spelling, shorten, rewrite for clarity, change tone, or translate. It's **privacy-aware by design**: the AI Assistant runs inside your ServiceNow instance, keeping your data within the boundaries of your environment. This is the first iteration, with more capabilities landing in upcoming releases. * **Settings page — Preferences, Global Settings, and Accessibility.** A new Settings page is accessible from the hamburger menu (☰) next to the YouDesign Models logo in the top-left corner. The **Preferences** tab lets every user: * Switch the interface **language** from a dropdown covering 10 languages, with the change taking effect immediately and persisting across sessions. * Toggle **editor defaults** — Snap to Grid, Show Grid, and Guided Dragging. * **Reset preferences** to defaults via a new dedicated action. * **Clear cache** to remove locally stored data (IndexedDB, localStorage) when needed. * **Global Settings** — available to YouDesign Admins for managing application-wide configuration. * **Accessibility options.**
* **Related Lists — Many-to-Many (m2m) support in Load Dependencies.** Load Dependencies now automatically detects and correctly handles m2m related lists by default. The detection can be turned off if you prefer the previous behaviour.
* **Realtime Indicators on Related Lists.** Realtime Indicators can now be configured on related-list relationships, giving the same visual, data-driven insights on canvas that Realtime Indicators already provide elsewhere in the product.
* **Export Whole Canvas.** A new **Whole Canvas** option in the Export menu complements the existing board and frame export flows, letting you capture the entire canvas content in a single export.
* **Board Versioning — Stage Management.** You can now change the stage/status of a board version directly, with a redesigned version button showing stage-aware colors and a compact badge.
**Improvements — Branding, theming, and look & feel** * Restructured color palette aligned with the YouDesign Models color system and **WCAG contrast compliance** across the application. * Shape alignment helper lines updated for WCAG compliance. * New icons, logos, and many other visual updates. **Improvements — Usability** * **Hamburger menu** added to editor mode, giving quick access to Settings and navigation. * **Hierarchy Map:** styles can now be applied to Hierarchy Map Containers in the same way as to nodes.
* **HOP:** option to re-use existing elements (and their relationships) when expanding, reducing duplication on the canvas.
* **Board Search:** * Added selection checkboxes to search results, enabling bulk selection directly from the search panel. * Added a collapse/expand option for Board Search result sections.
* **Data Panel:** * On-click loading for reference fields, reducing unnecessary upfront data fetches. * Table labels now appear in the field label when duplicate field labels would otherwise be ambiguous. * **Text Area:** auto-resizes on typing and font-size changes, with a defined maximum size to avoid runaway growth. * **Filters on selected objects:** new ability to filter based on the current selection.
* **AvoidNodes tooltip** now shows a clearer, more helpful message. * **Shortcut:** added **Cmd/Ctrl+B** and **Cmd/Ctrl+I** for bold and italic in text editing. * **Multiselection adornment** is now **draggable** — you can move a multi-selection by its adornment handle. * **Link circles** are no longer shown when elements are multiselected, reducing visual noise. * **PRESENT / EDIT buttons** unified across editor, presenter, and home page for consistent styling. * **Start page:** board count display, improved spacing, and a new teamspace button. **Improvements — Performance and stability** * Filters and Board reviewed and optimised from a backend perspective. * App loading performance greatly improved. **Improvements — Data Panel, Explorer & Board Search** * Explorer DataGrid restyled with proper headers, borders, status badges, and action icons. * Explorer optimised for performance. * Search and filter UI refactored with consistent button styling and improved component integration. **Fixes — Hierarchy Map** * Fixed an issue where **Duplicate** created an empty visualization. * Fixed hidden elements being selectable on the canvas when their container was collapsed. * Fixed the HM context not being reset after deleting the last element. * Fixed **Column settings** not being applied for the HM Layout Type. * Fixed an issue where users could not move elements freely when **auto-layout was off**. **Fixes — Roadmap** * Fixed Roadmap becoming hidden under a Frame after copy. * Fixed the Roadmap toolbar appearing when selecting items outside the Roadmap. * Fixed date changes not working when typing directly (without the datepicker). **Fixes — Relationships & Related Lists** * Fixed link labels appearing behind other links. * Fixed missing placeholder label on Tag fields in Relationship fields. * Fixed custom routing being reverted after relationship publication or after collapsing/expanding a container. * Fixed Suggested Link Styles showing **undefined** display names when selecting a CI relationship. * Fixed relationships jumping away from nodes after an Undo following Reset Styles. * Fixed straight relationships creating unintended angles during connector adjustment. **Fixes — Layers** * Added validation for maximum length (250 characters) when renaming a layer. * Fixed missing scroll in the Layers panel when the layer list exceeded panel height. * Fixed a horizontal scroll appearing in the Layers Panel after minimizing. * Fixed a pill for elements from a hidden layer being visible in the search modal. * Fixed **Move to Layer** being hidden instead of disabled when no other layers existed. **Fixes — Realtime Indicators** * Fixed Realtime Indicator values remaining greyed out in the panel even when data was present and visible on canvas. * Fixed vertical alignment options not working inside a Group. **Fixes — Data Panel** * Fixed the **Publish** button not being visible in Data Panel on Safari. * Fixed planning not working on Data Panel for Visual shapes after a table was assigned. * Fixed the Publish button remaining available for an already published relationship. * Fixed duplicate endpoint requests when opening the Data Panel. **Fixes — Explorer** * Fixed the **Reject** button being available for users with only planning permissions. **Fixes — Homepage, Board Search, and navigation** * Board Search now remembers the last state of search/filter. * Board Search now correctly searches custom shapes. * After deleting a teamspace, the page now redirects and the URL no longer contains the deleted teamspace's ID. * Fixed teamspaces auto-expanding after a deletion. * Fixed the Organization dropdown not being sorted alphabetically in the Organization modal. * Fixed an infinite API request loop when a non-existing teamspace ID was provided in the URL. **Fixes — Shapes, frames, and canvas** * Fixed Text Block not being addable to the diagram in some scenarios. * Fixed Table and Element fields being empty for shapes without a table definition. * Fixed the shape input area becoming too large in edit mode. * Fixed a copied link not centering on the selected shape. * Fixed accessibility tooltip issues on the Shape toolbar. * Fixed text in the Text Area shape not being aligned according to default alignment settings. * Fixed the **More** menu being unopenable when the entire Table panel was selected. * Fixed multi-select bounding box glitches and size changes while dragging shapes. * Fixed text alignment resetting to center while editing. * Fixed container name truncation when changing alignment (right → left). * Fixed a rare rendering issue affecting certain group-type nodes *(previously delivered as a v2.3 hotfix)*. * **Frames:** * Fixed multiple selected frames not being movable by one of them. * Fixed duplicated frames being placed outside the viewport. * Fixed frame size resetting after refresh. **Fixes — Export** * Fixed the board being cut in exported images via the Generate-and-Attach link. **Fixes — Context Map** * Fixed locked Context Map showing all toolbar actions. * Fixed Context Map becoming corrupted when adding a single element after reset. * Fixed Context Map size not updating when decreasing levels. * Fixed elements being movable to another layer in a Context Map. **Fixes — Filters** * Fixed filtering on References not working with the **CONTAINS** qualifier in the YD Data Hub. **Fixes — Publish & access** * Fixed List-type fields showing a red border and disabling Publish after some tags were added. * Fixed the **Publish** button no longer highlighting after an update. * Fixed elements not being publishable when the **Life Cycle Stage Status** field has a value. **Fixes — BPMN / Swimlanes** * Fixed an issue where adding a new lane from a collapsed lane created a lane with collapsed height but an expanded-state icon. **Fixes — General** * Fixed being unable to select elements with lasso-select inside a Container or Lane. * Fixed board contents not being deleted when a board version was deleted. * Fixed the text editor being misaligned in some scenarios. * Fixed the "Is Group" checkbox being incorrectly checked when copying a record. * Fixed the Replacement feature not working properly on logos. * Fixed **max-length validation** showing "Board description" message for the Notes field. * Fixed **distribution direction mapping** and improved alignment/distribution behaviour. * Fixed **Visualizations** issues with Kanban (layout corruption after Option+Click copy of a multi-selection or dragging Frame + Kanban). * Fixed present-mode hidden buttons still being clickable. * Fixed toolbar/rotate buttons blinking during Undo/Redo with multi-selected objects. * Fixed unable to undo when a level-one element had been deleted. *Thanks for being part of this milestone with us — there's much more coming in 26.1 and beyond.*
Version 2.3 This release brings major enhancements to YouDesign, introducing powerful new features like Layers, expanded export options, and the new YouDesign Workspace. Alongside these capabilities, we've improved performance, refined the user experience across multiple areas, and resolved several issues to ensure a smoother, more reliable design and modeling experience. **New Features** * **Hierarchy Map type nodes:** Nodes can now be displayed in Compact, Text-Only, or Traditional type for cleaner visualization. ![Hierarchy Map type nodes](https://content.gitbook.com/content/OS5XKTz5WlrX4s5rESlH/blobs/qdHA0C0gK0a6JgoCDbvJ/images/v2.3-hierarchy-map-type-nodes.gif) * **Layers:** New Layer functionality allows organizing, hiding, locking, and managing complex diagrams more efficiently. ![Layers](https://content.gitbook.com/content/OS5XKTz5WlrX4s5rESlH/blobs/ZXmpanUHRzwyR4bBY9mc/images/v2.3-layers.gif) * **Export functionality:** New export options simplify the migration of YouDesign content between instances. ![Board export](https://content.gitbook.com/content/OS5XKTz5WlrX4s5rESlH/blobs/9PwwQmhzgTP3Jr0uv0wx/images/v2.3-board-export.gif) ![Bulk export](https://content.gitbook.com/content/OS5XKTz5WlrX4s5rESlH/blobs/0Qxvo8JYSeLGqtsepz6Y/images/v2.3-bulk-export.gif) * **YouDesign Workspace:** A centralized workspace offering an overview of YouDesign usage and quick access to configuration tables, exports, and other tools. * Support for **YouDesign content `.json` files** into canvas, to quickly create predefined content. **Improvements** * **Helper Dialog redesign:** Updated layout with improved shortcuts and helpful links. ![Helper Dialog redesign](https://content.gitbook.com/content/OS5XKTz5WlrX4s5rESlH/blobs/A3JwCaeh373OVgZnJ7Ds/images/v2.3-helper-dialog-redesign.gif) * **Performance improvements** for: * Homepage loading of Teamspaces, folders, and boards. * Creating, updating, and deleting board content. * **Persistent links:** Links now remain stable even after changing the link path. * **Core libraries** updated to newer versions. * **Filters:** * Added support for Tags. * Added support for Reference Qualifiers. * **Data Panel:** * Links can now be removed from current-state elements and restored when needed. * Added support for Reference Qualifiers. * **Hierarchy Map:** Filters are now independent from Data Hub filters, allowing each instance of the Hierarchy Map to maintain its own filters. * **Shape Form:** Added an "Insert with Preview and Stay" option to assist with cloning shapes while keeping the preview visible. * **Board Form:** Added a new UI Action for quick board access. * **UI improvements:** Updated top-right controls in Edit and Presenter modes. * **Cleaner linking:** Removed unnecessary indicators when connecting links to target nodes. * **Improved link stability** across multiple scenarios. * **YouDesign BPM 1.1:** Lanes and pools now support expand/collapse behavior. * **Improved node text editor** for better usability. **Fixes** * Fixed missing records in the AWS and Azure shape libraries. * **Homepage:** Fixed missing result count when filters were applied. * **YouDesign BPM 1.1:** * Resolved issues related to BPMN swimlanes. * Fixed a definition issue where two default link styles appeared between some shapes. * Fixed an issue where boolean fields in the Data Panel were not handled correctly. * Fixed cases where link preview did not match the final created link. * Fixed issues where resetting link styles did not work for certain style properties. * Fixed an issue preventing YouDesign Admin users from accessing YouDesign Global Settings. * Corrected sorting issues affecting Indicator fields. * Fixed an incomplete rendering behavior in Context Map. * Resolved inconsistencies where links would slightly shift under certain scenarios.
Version 2.2.1 The patch improves the performance and stability of YouDesign. It enhances the Explorer tab and fixes issues with template insertion, relationship handling, board centering, and duplicated relationships in the Explorer. For the full details of the minor release, see the **Version 2.2 Release Notes** below. **Improvements** * Improved performance of the Explorer tab for smoother navigation and faster load times. **Fixes** * Fixed an issue where templates containing grouped shapes were not inserted correctly. * Fixed an issue where relationship types were not preserved after loading a board. * Fixed an issue that, in some cases, caused the board to not be properly centered during initialization. * Fixed an issue that caused relationships to appear duplicated in the Explorer.
Version 2.2 This release focuses on expanding **Business Process Management** capabilities with the new **YouDesign BPM** add-on, introducing flexible link styling, and improving shape replacement and data association workflows. It also includes multiple usability improvements, stability updates, and key fixes across the platform. **New Features** * **New Add-on: YouDesign BPM.** Introducing a new add-on available in the Store — **YouDesign BPM Extension Pack** — which brings **Business Process Management** capabilities, including a comprehensive **BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation)** shape library for process modeling and visualization. ![BPMN Shape Library](https://content.gitbook.com/content/OS5XKTz5WlrX4s5rESlH/blobs/RywAJ90JnlMvtTBiu0Tl/images/v2.2-bpmn-library.gif) *BPMN Shape Library* * **Suggested Link Styles.** A new **Suggested Link** feature lets you define pre-configured link styles between shapes.

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.ins-pi.com/models/get-the-app/release-notes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
