# Overview and Navigation

***

### Overview

Current features four primary views: Play, Engine, Effects, and Stream. You can access each view by clicking the corresponding button in the left navigation bar.

Each view contains nested panels that offer functionality tailored to that view's specific goal. This layout helps you stay focused in one area of the instrument while navigating between sections.

Note that you can set the Default View in the [Additional Settings](/current-manual/additional-settings.md) so that your preferred view is always open when creating a new instance.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.minimal.audio/current-manual/overview-and-navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
