Publications give you the freedom to experiment and tailor your content for different audiences or seasons. You can use them to create limited-time assortments for a summer sale, prepare specific product sets for a new export market with different languages, or even build a dedicated feed for a niche marketplace. Because publications can have their own unique rules, you can transform data on the fly, like changing units of measurement or shortening titles, to fit the technical requirements of any platform. This allows you to keep your main database clean and organized while still being incredibly flexible with how that data appears to your customers. Within Struct PIM, publications can be generated as PDF's, or you can send it to external apps, eg Adobe InDesign with EasyCatalog, and work with the data there. This gives you the ultimate freedom of how to structure and display your data. ### Guides covering publications * [How to create a print publication](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications/how-to-create-a-print-publication.md) * [How to create a publication template](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications/how-to-create-a-publication-template.md) * [How to set up EasyCatalog with publications](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications/how-to-set-up-easycatalog-with-publications.md) * [How to set up a single page product sheet](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications/how-to-set-up-a-single-page-product-sheet.md) * [How to create a PowerPoint presentation with publications](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications/how-to-create-a-powerpoint-presentation-with-publications.md) * [How to build Google Shopping feeds with publications](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications/how-to-build-google-shopping-feeds-with-publications.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.struct.com/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications.md?ask=&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.
