# Naming your files

Naming files may seem straightforward, but there are some useful tips to take into account to make sure that the title of a file accurately represents its content and is usable for other users.&#x20;

## Concepts

* **Don’t start file names with a capital letter.** When you start typing the concept in a clause, you will want ClauseBase to instantly recognize it based on its name. To facilitate this, write your concepts in all lowercase.
* **Uses dashes (“-“) instead of spaces between words.** Same reason as above, this makes it easier for ClauseBase to find the concept when you are using it, saving you the trouble of manually linking to it. For example, use: “data-breach” as a concept file name instead of “data breach”.&#x20;

## 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://help.clause9.com/files/how-to-files/how-to-name-your-files.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.
