# Updates

Updates is where you write and send updates to a deal's investors. Each update stays with the deal it is about.

1. **Create new** Starts a new update for sending to investors.
2. **Search updates** Finds an update by typing any part of its title.
3. **Update list** Lists every update on the deal, with drafts and sent updates together.
4. **SENT** Marks an update that has been delivered to investors.
5. **DRAFT** Marks an update you are still preparing, ready to edit before sending.
6. **Detail pane** Shows the selected update in full, with its recipients and send date.

> **Check the list for drafts.** A draft can sit below updates sent weeks earlier.

### Sending an update

An update goes to every investor in the deal and stays as sent, so check each figure before you select Send.

## 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.allocations.com/why-allocations/updates.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.
