# Application Overview

The main ScopeBox window can be broken into 2 distinct regions. On launch, the majority of the screen hosts the palette region. The sidebar, on the right side of the window, contains all of the controls and adjustments for sources, and palettes. The sidebar can be hidden at any time using the button in the upper right corner of the window, or using the Command-\[ keyboard shortcut.

### The Sidebar <a href="#the-sidebar" id="the-sidebar"></a>

Changing the settings of one of your sources or palettes is done in the sidebar. The sidebar will open to the "source selection" pane, where you can add a live source, a ScopeLink source, or a movie file. The icons at the top of the sidebar allow you to toggle between palette settings, source settings, still images, and predefined targets. Clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of any palette allows you to adjust settings for that palette.

### The Palette Region <a href="#the-palette-region" id="the-palette-region"></a>

Once you've added a source, you're free to start inspecting the signal in a variety of ways. You do this by adding palettes to the source. Each new palette you add will give you an additional tool to quantitatively or qualitatively examine the video, audio, or timecode signal of that source.

When a new palette is added, it appears in the Palette Region. This area serves as your general workspace for analyzing sources. You can add or remove palettes, change the source they monitor, or alter their size and position at any time. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of any palette to access its settings.

## 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.hedge.video/scopebox/application-overview.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.
