# How to use hotspots

Set up and use hotspots to highlight specific details on an asset

A hotspot is an interactive point you can nplace on an asset to highlight a specific detail or link to related information, giving viewers extra context directly on the image itself, without cluttering the asset with visible text or annotations.

this tutorial goes through how to enable hotspots on an asset type, and how to add one to an asset.

### Enabling hotspots on an asset type

Go to Settings > Data models > Asset types and edit the asset type you want to add hotspots to. Under "Hotspot definitions", add a new difinition and give it a label descriping what the hotspot marks, for example "Feature". Then choose whether it should mark a single "Point" or a broader "Area", and whether "Allow multiple" should be enabled, letting you place more than one hotspot of this definition on the same asset.

Under "Attribute", set up the sub attributes, the hotspot should capture whenever it's used. A "Title and "Description" attributes is often enough to cover the most cases, giving each hotspot a short heading and a longe explanation, but you can add further attributes if a hotspot should carry more information, such as a link to related content.

Once you save, the definition appears on the asset type, ready to be used on its assets.

### Adding a hotspot to an asset

With the definition in place, open the entity page of an asset and click the "Hotspots"-icon to the left of the image preview, then "Add hotspot".&#x20;

Click on the image where the hotspot should sit, and fill in its details you set up on the definition. It now shows a marker direcktly on the image, and can be edited or removed again the same way it was added.

## 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.struct.com/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-media/how-to-use-hotspots.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.
