# 5. Add Documentation

Learn how to add searchable documentation to Select Star and help people within your organization understand your data better, fostering collaboration and better decision-making.

By adding searchable documentation to Select Star, you can help people from all different technical levels in your organization understand existing data and what it means.

You can easily [add documentation](/data-management/add-documentation.md) to tables and dashboards with an **Edit Description** button. Document columns by clicking in the description field.

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="https://3470314135-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgAiVthA_yg9UXKuhyY%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-abb57f87c94499961dc744aaf16223927aa44f40%2FScreenshot%202024-07-26%20at%2013.08.07%201.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Database pages and [Tag](/data-management/tag-management.md#creating-tags) pages can have descriptions as well, to give an overview of what kind of information is available.

You can adjust your filters in the right sidebar to show tables with higher popularity scores, but no description, to identify the best places to start.

Quickly upload large amounts of metadata in `.csv` format by going to **Settings**. Click **Metadata Upload** under the **Data Manager** section.

# 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.selectstar.com/getting-started/add-documentation-gs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_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.
