# Sonoran Studio

Sonoran Studio turns live Sonoran CAD and Sonoran Radio activity into broadcast-ready overlays for your stream.

![The Sonoran Studio layout and widget editor](https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FSNDrCcXxwsnYIi72Ym9Z%2Fuploads%2FPeeZEk5QxXmThKn4M94u%2Fstudio-editor-overview.webp?alt=media\&token=0cec9658-1a6c-43a6-abab-be3f8ebaadd1)

Use Studio to build layouts for landscape or vertical streams, position the widgets you want, match their styling to your channel, and copy a private browser-source URL into your streaming app.

## 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://docs.sonoransoftware.com/studio/sonoran-studio.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.
