Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.jmapcloud.io/en/jmap-ng/jmap-ng-user-guide/introduction/graphical-interface.md). # Graphical Interface When you open a project for the first time, a project presentation interface may appear. Some projects do not have this interface. ## Project Presentation Some projects display a presentation interface that provides relevant information about the project. This presentation may contain text, images, hyperlinks, videos, and documents. You can download the document. Hyperlinks open the URL in another browser tab. Videos are displayed in the interface and can also be viewed on the platform where they are published.

You can manage the display of the presentation: * **Close** the presentation. To reopen it, click the **Details** link located at the top right of the feature panels. * **Uncheck** the **Show at project opening** checkbox to open the presentation only when needed. ## JMap NG Interface The JMap NG interface consists of three main elements: * A **sidebar** with icons to access the various panels that provide features organized by theme * **Navigation and geographic positioning tools** * The **map** displaying the project data

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.jmapcloud.io/en/jmap-ng/jmap-ng-user-guide/introduction/graphical-interface.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
