{% hint style="info" %}
When you are positioning a snapshot, its object bubble is visible. Note its position relative to the group of objects in case you want to move or otherwise modify the snapshot. If you can't find the object bubble when you want to use it, see [Finding an object bubble](/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects/finding-an-object-bubble.md).
{% endhint %}

After you place the snapshot, it becomes an object in the Session. For more information about how to modify the snapshot, see [Modifying objects](/engage/advanced-features/modifying-objects.md).

# 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.engagevr.io/engage/advanced-features/snapshots/loading-a-snapshot.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.
