# The interface

The ABB BuildingPro interface consists of the following elements:

## Sidebar

You use the sidebar to access the menus in ABB BuildingPro.

## Title bar

The title bar gives you access to various functions. For example, via the title bar you can [-> switch between projects](/collection/english-v14/documentation/systems-and-projects/switch-between-projects.md).&#x20;

## **Workspace**

The workspace occupies the largest part of the interface. This is where you make all settings and control ABB BuildingPro.

## **Context bar**

The context bar is located above the workspace. The context bar is dynamic. This means that its content changes depending on what is displayed in the workspace.

The context bar shows the name of the current workspace, as well as the [↗ Breadcrumbs](/collection/english-v14/foreword/controls.md#breadcrumbs) are displayed. Breadcrumbs can be used to quickly navigate to the higher-level menu items.

In some cases, the context bar may contain additional tabs. These tabs are used to select further submenus.

## 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.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/foreword/the-interface.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.
