# In-app Help

Stuck mid-edit? The answers live in the app — **Help → MemoryString Help…** (**⌘/** or the **?** toolbar button). **Help → Full Documentation Online** opens this site ([memorystring.codebyz.com](https://memorystring.codebyz.com)) in a browser. In-app Help is the subset that ships in the app; this site is the full public set (The Studio, Essential and Studio, Organizing, Auto detection, and split Style / Motion pages live here only).

![MemoryString Help sidebar and Quick Start](/files/zWkO5SFRWrlkS107dYdw)

Search the sidebar field to filter by title or body.

Topics: About MemoryString, Quick Start, Library, Preview, Timeline, Music, Effects, Multi-Photo Groups, Intro & Captions, Export, MCP Server, Keyboard Shortcuts.

**Help → Show Walkthrough** replays the first-run tour — seven stops, same as day one:

1. **Bring in moments** — Click + or drag in photos, videos, and music. Royalty-free tracks live here too.
2. **Your Library** — Every photo and clip gathers here. Drag to reorder, or right-click for more.
3. **Shape the story** — Scrub and fine-tune how the moments unfold. Right-click a slide for transitions, duration, and more.
4. **Watch it come alive** — Your memory plays here — press play or Spacebar whenever you want a look.
5. **Make it yours** — Looks, Energy (pace), Photo Size, and Captions live here, with per-clip controls.
6. **Share your memory** — When you’re done, open Export and pick a format — including social.
7. **Essential or Studio** — Stay simple in Essential, or open Studio when you want deeper controls.

**Help → Report a Problem…** emails a sanitized crash package (stacks, Mac specs, breadcrumbs; no media filenames). Useful when something breaks — and polite about what it sends.

**MemoryString → About MemoryString** is the About panel (creator, website, version). The same credit is in the window footer. Public how-to and export clips: [Welcome](/get-started/readme.md#watch-a-demo).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://memorystring.codebyz.com/more/help.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.
