# Follow Ups From a Dashboard

Use legacy dashboard follow-ups to drill deeper from a saved visualization into new analysis.

There are two ways you can follow up from a dashboard question in Zenlytic.

1. Entering an explore interface, where you can select metrics, slices, and filters from a list.
2. Chatting with [Zöe](https://www.zenlytic.com/product), our natural language chatbot.

For both options, select the 3-dot menu in the top right-hand corner of a chart in a dashboard.

You will see both of these options in the hover follow up menu options

## Explore from here

This opens a graphical explore where you can change the query, filters or chart using controls in the UI.

## Start a chat with Zöe

Starting a chat with Zoë from here will open a new chat window and set the tile you asked about as context for Zoë.

You can ask Zoë a question about the result to iterate on it.

# 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.zenlytic.com/legacy/dashboard/following_up_from_a_dashboard.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.
