## Before you start

- Have a ready Muse account and check that Ask is available.
- Prepare a clear question and any files you have permission to share with Muse.
- Consider a separate account for research because jobs on one account share its Muse memory.

## 1. Choose Ask

Open Studio in Muse4AI and select Ask. Choose the account you want to use for this conversation.

## 2. Give context and attach files

Explain the task and the format you need. For example, ask for a short summary of a sales report. Attach relevant files and check their names before sending.

## 3. Send and read the answer

Send once and wait for the answer, which opens as an article. Check important claims against your source material before using them.

## 4. Continue or start fresh

Use the conversation continuation option for a follow-up. A conversation stays on the account that created it. Choose a new conversation when you want a separate thread.

## Check it worked

You can read the answer and either continue its conversation or start a separate question.

## If it doesn't work

### Why can I not switch accounts for a follow-up?

The conversation belongs to its original Muse account. Start a new conversation to use another account.

### A file was refused. What should I check?

Read the attachment warning and check the file type, size, and total attachments. A refused file is not included just because it was dropped into Studio.
