# I have a data question

### Discussions

Select Star is designed to answer your data questions. A great place to start is asking a question to the table/dashboard owner in the discussion tab.

If you can't find an answer to your question, you can post the question on the [Discussion](/features/discussion.md) tab and the [Owners](/data-management/data-ownership.md) will be notified. You can also tag specific users to make sure they will see your question.

{% hint style="info" %}
:keyboard: Use `@` to tag users, tables, columns, or dashboards.
{% endhint %}

Table [Owners](/data-management/data-ownership.md) can pin :pushpin: important comments so they'll show up at the top of the page. This is another good place to check for an answer to your question.

### Discussion Notifications

Anyone can reply to discussion comments. If someone replies to your comment, you will receive a notification. Check your notifications by clicking the bell 🔔 icon in the top right corner, next to your profile icon.

By default, you'll also receive email notifications if someone replies to your comment. You can turn off email notifications in the Settings page.

If you'd like to receive Slack notifications, check out the [Select Star Slack App](/integrations/slack.md)!

### Ask AI

The other way you can try is [Ask AI feature](/features/ask-ai-chatbot.md). Select Star can answer these questions for your stakeholders automatically! Key use cases include:

* answering questions about your data
* finding the right data
* writing queries
