# Eralis Documentation

Everything you need to build, deploy, and manage your projects on the platform.

Learn how to organize research, build timelines, manage project material, switch visualizations, plan work, publish, and export with Eralis.

## Core workflow

1. Create or open a project.
2. Add chronological events and eras.
3. Connect entities and sources to the material you are documenting.
4. Explore the project through Timeline, Cards, Calendar, Map, or Graph views.
5. Use project settings for history, planner configuration, publishing, and other project controls.

Eralis is under active development. This documentation separates currently implemented functionality from roadmap features.

# 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 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.eralis.live/documentation/welcome.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.
