# Efficient Workbench

Cherry Studio's main window consists of a sidebar, tabs, and a content area. Conversation topics and Agent tasks can be opened in multiple tabs at the same time, or split into separate windows; the input area toolbar can also be adjusted to suit your habits.

## Scenarios suited for using separate windows

* Keep a reference conversation open while running an Agent task;
* Pin long-running monitoring tasks to the top so they are not obscured by other windows;
* Place conversations, files, or tasks on different monitors respectively;
* When presenting or sharing a task, do not expose other tabs in the main window.

## Recommended layout

For office writing, you can keep the reference conversation in the main window and split the "Writing" Agent to the right-hand screen; for coding work, you can pin Agent tasks to the top while keeping files and documents in the main window; for long-term monitoring tasks, use a separate window, but do not place tasks that require frequent permission confirmation where you cannot see them.

{% hint style="info" %}
An independent window still belongs to the same Cherry Studio data environment. It is not a new account or private space; the content of the same topic or task will still be saved and synced.
{% endhint %}

## 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.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/advanced-basic/workbench.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.
