# Starting Context

When you open the AI Sidebar from a specific feature, the starting context carries over so you don’t have to repeat anything.

**Where Starting Context Comes From:**

* **Snapshots**
* **Text Select**
* **Ask Follow-Ups** button on result screens<br>

**What It Includes:**

* The original question you captured
* Four **customized follow-up suggestions** related to the question
* A text input so you can ask anything new<br>

You can click a follow-up, type your own question, or even upload a file to continue the conversation.
