# Preferences

We will now open the preferences page. The module will work with the default values that you will see below, but you may wish to change some of these. Most of these settings have brief explanations against them, but we have added detailed help notes over some of these settings. Please note, the preferences page is long, so it has been divided into 2 sections in the images below.

If you are allowing the submit and request links to be viewed in your web pages, you can still prevent automatic publication of any material by setting these auto approve options to NO. Alternatively, if you restrict your module visibility to a trusted group, it may be useful to allow auto approve which offers immediate publication of material. ~~More details are given in the tool tips below.~~

# 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 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://xoops.gitbook.io/smartfaq-tutorial/operating-instructions/preferences.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.
