# Chrome Extension

The Select Star Chrome Extension allows users to get their data context side-by-side their dashboards and tables. With the Extension, users have easy access to their metadata while they're looking at dashboards. This allows users to keep their focus in one place, removing the need to switch between tabs or applications.

Users can install the extension individually by following the steps below, or admins can perform an [organization-wide install](/features/chrome-extension/organization-wide-install.md) for all users.

## 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://docs.selectstar.com/features/chrome-extension.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.
